My 8m TX permit expires soon.
As it would cost me £50 annually to continue my research and the RSGB, OFCOM and others seem so against (not even neutral) even a small band, I have taken down my 8m dipole and have no intention of carrying on. Sad.
As I have said many, many times, the best time for research would have been around the solar peak, which has passed. Instead I am concentrating on 6m and 10m.
Life is too short to battle on.
I hope in the end we will see a very tiny allocation at 8m, but I can't see this happening soon. If it does come about, I shall return to 8m.

Hello Roger, how many contacts or how many stations spotted you on 8 metres? It is a shame we cannot have a small allocation on that band. I often spot you on 6 metres FT8.
