General Notes and Information

Your application will be treated in confidence by the Radiocommunications Agency and its appointed agents. Any proposed change in the details given on the completed application form must be notified in advance to the Radiocommunications Agency at the address given below.

A change from the details shown in the licence may mean that the operation of the equipment would be illegal. You may be charged for any extra work involved in issuing a new licence.

On receipt of this form your request for frequencies will be assessed and a schedule will be sent to you indicating which frequencies have been allocated to you, along with an invoice. Please note that the appropriate licence fee must be paid before any licence can be issued. If you are paying by international money order, all payments must be made in sterling.
