Review Questions Consultation

Ofcom building and logoThe Society thanks all amateurs who participated in our preparation exercise for the Ofcom Amateur Licence Review.

Our Consultation Forum has now closed.

Background

The current form of the licence has been around for several years and Ofcom is keen to ensure that it continues to meet its regulatory needs.
