146-147MHz NoV extension agreed by Ofcom

| November 5, 2026

Ofcom has agreed to the RSGB request to extend the 146-147MHz NoV for a further year.

It is available on a non-interference basis and the NoV is subject to a 30-day notice period of change or withdrawal. Ofcom’s objective in making this spectrum available is to encourage radio amateurs to experiment and test new communications schemes and systems.

The RSGB VHF Manager would welcome reports of innovative use of the spectrum to support future discussions. You can contact him on vhf.manager@rsgb.org.uk 

Full licence holders can apply for the 146-147MHz NoV on the RSGB website but please note that your NoV will only be valid until 31 October 2027.
