Lavenham - NOT amateur radio

Lavenham is a village about an hour from here. It is filled with timber framed houses and a grand church.

8m NoV with OFCOM

"Dear Customer,

We have received your submission and a member of the Licensing team will be processing it in due course. "


I have received this non-response so many times from OFCOM in the last 2 weeks that I could probably wallpaper a room with these. 


All I am asking is for a progress report. Is that really rocket science? The NoV application was submitted in October!


zzzzz


UPDATE 2022z:  Well I have at last had a response from a human being! Not a progress update, but at least I know someone is actually there!
