Dear club contact,
?
Below is?a short brief regarding amateur operating during the Olympics. Though some information is doing the rounds, the acting GM reports this is still to be finalised within OFCOM, before it is released formally via the web.

Amateur band
restrictions during the Olympic & Paralympics Games
The RSGB attended a meeting on 5th April at Ofcom
for a briefing on Ofcom’s spectrum management proposals for the amateur
services that cover the period 28th June to 23rd
September 2012.?? The proposals have yet
to receive final drafting revision and approval within Ofcom, before
publication on their website.? The
Society will augment this publicity to help ensure that members are aware of
the limitations and the importance of restricting our operating during the
Olympic period.?
Unfortunately, some of the current draft has become more
widely circulated than was intended during the process of internal
consultation.? It contains some
information that may not be included in the final version.? Members are asked to await the formal
announcement from Ofcom.?
The Society will be preparing a full coverage of the
restrictions that cover 70 cm and the two lower microwave bands.? This will include the concessions, still
being worked upon, for contests during this period.
