OFCOM is consulting ahead of WRC23. See the OFCOM website for details.
As you probably know, I am APPALLED by the very negative attitude by OFCOM and the RSGB to self training (what the amateur licence is meant to be about!!). Their position is utterly stupid by making us pay £50 annually to experiment at 8m.
My proposal is:
- 5 kHz wide only 40.680-40.685 MHz amateur band at 8m
- narrow digital only (e.g. WSPR, FT8, CW, but no speech)
- by NoV
- strictly for real experiments , not "more of the same"
If you feel inclined, write to OFCOM and copy the RSGB. The current situation WRT 8m is so so stupid!!
I am conscious that RF engineers are in very short supply so why are we not encouraging self training?
