To continue my 8m TX permit, I have (stupidly in my view) to pay OFCOM £50 a year!! As I have worked just about all the stations on 8m TX currently, I am having second thoughts. Views?
Personally, I think OFCOM (plus the RSGB) and the FCC have totally stupid and blinkered views about genuine experimentation at 8m. Talk about dinosours .....
Instead, I may TX WSPR in the 8m ISM band at 10mW ERP using the call 8M3ISM during the Es season. With this ERP in the UK it is my view anyone may legally beacon in the 8m ISM band without a licence as long as they meet the interface requirements.
