In line with that,fees for amateur radio licences,have also been abolished.

I’ve not been long got my intermediate licence, (2EO) and didn’t pay for it.Whereas when I got my foundation licence, (M3) I had to pay for that.

This is the Chapter & Verse.

"Today Ofcom has published two documents in relation to the Wireless
Telegraphy (Exemption) (Amendment) Regulations 2006:

  • A Statement confirming that the Wireless Telegraphy (Exemption)
    (Amendment) Regulations 2006 will come into force on 8 December 2006 at
    which time certain low power FM transmitters will become legal to use .
    Also from that date, it will no longer be necessary to hold a Wireless
    Telegraphy (WT) Act licence in order to operate Citizens’ Band Radio
    equipment, providing that it is operated in accordance with the new
    Regulations; and

  • A revised information document on the use of CB radio

Not sure if it’s a good or bad thing myself but Titch (my son David M3ZDV) is studying for his 2E0 and thinks it’s great!

John,
As a recent ‘takee’ of the intermediate,we found that it was a lot harder than what we were lead to believe.

One of our crew,who has seen the last 3 intermediate exam papers,said it was more akin to the M0 exam.

However,I’m now pleased it’s out of the way,and I may,just may,go on to do the M0 in the new year.

I have just received my new tv licence…and with all the info on the back …it states that i can use a mobile tv away from home…and operate a cb radio…so it seems that you do need a licence to operate a cb albeit a tv or receiving licence as its called now.
