The application to get a new 8m permit to replace my current one (at great expense, which I think is utterly STUPID!!) is with OFCOM. There is no certainty of a new 8m permit, but I have essentially asked for the same as the last one.
If they reject it, I intend to WSPR with 10mW ERP in the ISM 8m band. Perhaps I should use the callsign OF3COM just to register my disapproval, HI.
My 8m FT8 was turned on late at 1645z.
UPDATE 1800z: Just S57A (1194km) has been spotted. Nobody has spotted my QRP today.
Hi Roger - I'm also considering running a 10mW FT8 beacon in the ISM band. Do I understand correctly that this is legal and above board?
