Well before the next Es season, I intend to apply for an NoV to allow me to TX experimentally on 8m. I have no idea whether or not this will be successful.
At the moment, I want to be able to TX FT8, WSPR or CW between the months of March 2022 and the end of October 2022. All these are narrowband modes, which helps. The most I can run is 10W, so I shall apply for this. With Es I am sure 2.5W would be enough to be copied all over Europe. All this depends on my FT817ND being able to TX on 8m! I have not tried this yet.
DraftD (not yet submitted) is linked. I propose to send the final version to OFCOM and the RSGB. If you can think of ways to improve it, please let me know as soon as possible.
Anyone care to join me? You may want to amend it as identical submissions might look odd! Hopefully some of us will be successful.

Yea might join in if things go in the right direction?

Of course we have to convince Ofcom.
