Ofcom - why isn\'t my amateur licence shown on their website?
One would normally ask that question of Ofcom, not YBW but I don't understand half the questions in their FAQs so I am unlikely to understand their answers and there is a good chance that another Amateur with a Ships Radio Licence can help.
I have my Ships Radio Licence in hard copy form (they sent it free, unrequested) and I can access and download my Ships Radio Licence online so there seems to be nothing wrong with my PC setup, passwords, etc.
At around the same time that they sent me the Ships Radio Licence they sent me a new amateur certificate, Full, with all the correct details, a starting date and no end date. Nowhere on the document can I see an expiry date but it does include the licence number and was issued 27/3/07, so very recent.
However, this amateur licence does not appear on the Ofcom site when I log on yet there is reference made to Amateur licences in general and a facility to apply for one. Although I have all the documents to apply for a licence I already have one and there is no facility to tell them that I already have one, and to give them their licence number!
Is it simply that Ofcom have made a mistake in my case, am I looking in the wrong place, or is that just how they do it?
Many thanks /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
