Just got this from OFCOM......
Hi @Roger Lapthorn,I’m afraid we can’t make any changes to the application.
We simply go of the dates provided in the application – You can of course apply again in the new year if you need more time for your project.
...and of course pay another £50!! Need I say more? Brain? Think? I am left feeling they really are stupid or brain dead.
Just to do experimentation? In the past they would just have issued an NoV to my amateur licence for free!! Meanwhile 2 MHz of VHF spectrum is available for radio amateurs by NoV. I am asking for just a few kilohertz at low power. I cannot contain my anger!
I reckon the MOD don't like us playing around on 40MHz, otherwise we would have been given a portion by now?

Yet with many UK permits we can run hundreds of watts without callsigns and be untraceable!! Under ISM rules anyone can operate 40.66 to 40.70 without a licence or callsign. Totally crazy!!
