RSGB Operating Advisory Service

| June 13, 2025

The RSGB Operating Advisory Service (OAS) provides advice to members on dealing with situations that are not within the spirit of amateur radio.

From time to time this activity goes beyond what is classed as acceptable behaviour and requires action to be taken.

In these circumstances the OAS recommends reporting the matter directly to Ofcom and to the police in the case of issues which could be classed as harassment, stalking or hate crimes.

Experience has shown that this carries more weight coming directly from the people hearing or suffering the problem rather than a third party such as the RSGB.

If you hear anything that is not acceptable behaviour, contact the RSGB OAS first and the team will suggest the correct course of action.

Once Ofcom and the police have issued reference numbers these should be passed to the Operative Advisory Service.

You can contact OAS by email on oas@rsgb.org.uk.
