UK LICENCES ---> The Radiocommunications Agency announced in September 2001 a
series of changes to the radio amateur licensing regime, designed to make it
more attractive as a technical hobby. The changes include lowering the Morse
Code speed requirement from 12 to 5 wpm for full licensees, amalgamating some
licence categories, allowing trainees to operate while supervised before
passing an examination and the introduction of a new Foundation Class licence
which will come into effect on 1 January 2002. Holders will be issued M3 (MM3
for Scotland, MW3 for Wales etc) callsigns and will be allowed to operate
with 10 watts on most of the amateur bands. Detailed information is available
at http://www.rsgb.org/licensing/newlicencestructure.htm
