Ofcom EMF Ruling

Uncategorized

In the last month the radio regulator Ofcom has published its final decision on an EMF consultation.

The General Notice of variation to radio communication licenses is here. Its a PDF document that can be opened and read in a browser or via PDF reader.

Ofcom say; “This new licence condition would require licensees to comply with international guidelines for limiting exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) for the protection of the general public.”

As we are potentially ending the lockdown, Indian variant permitting, lots is still going on in the amateur radio world here in Gateshead.

GB3TW in its new cover to keep the dust and water off in the steeple. Thanks to Dan for getting it back on the air and Warren for helping.

GB3HA now working again. Remote shutdown fitted by Graeme. Farmer very happy with rent in shape of 3 bottles if Chardonnay.

The RSGB Examinations and Syllabus Review Group (ESRG) has just updated the two Full licence mock exam papers.  In addition, there are now worked answer pdfs for these papers so you can see the correct answer for each question and the reasoning behind it.  These mock papers are provided by the ESRG as a training aid and aren’t the exact questions included in a Full licence exam.  Foundation and Intermediate mock exam papers will have worked answers added in due course.  You can find all the mock exam papers on the Society’s website:
