Malcolm, I am interested in what you have said and would like to know what you expect Ofcom to do in return for your licence fee.

That¡¯s your opinion to which you are entitled to. ?I¡¯ve voiced mine and believe the option should be looked into. Just because the licence is free now does not been we would not be better off paying for something for which we might get something back in return!

but please think before/instead of a knee jerk reply
It deserves a knee jerk reply as it makes little sense:
Why?should radio amateurs pay a licence fee when it is free at the moment?
We would have less radio amateurs and the money would not make any significant difference to our influence?with Ofcom!
Ofcom would still have to provide a non-RSGB payment collection facility as radio licensing is their statutory duty.
As things are it is a very simple and free process!
