Lavenham - NOT amateur radio

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

It got rich when the wool trade was at its height many centuries ago.

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! 

70cm FT8

Hepburn was right! 70cm was good last evening with 51 stations spotted on 70cm FT8 RX. 

12 stations spotted my 2.5W FT8 to the 2m big-wheel omni antenna. 

Imagine what stations with big-beams and high power were doing!
