Packet Radio: Advertisements

The Agency announced today that following consultation with the Radio Society of Great Britain a form of words can now be added into the Notice of Variation for mailbox SysOps.

This amendment now allows mailboxes to send advertisements to other mailboxes.

'The Mailbox Station may additionally, at the discretion of the Licensee and on a voluntary basis without charge, be used to store and forward messages, generated by any licensee, which are in accordance with sub-clause 3(4) of this licence'

SyOps who wish to partake in this experiment are invited to request a new NoV with this clause included. The Data Communications Committee will simply issue a 'new' NoV. This will help to judge the demand for this facility and at the same time gives the Agency a list of SyOps, which will be consulted, following the end of this experimental period. Both the Agency and RSGB will then be able to discuss whether the experiment can become a permanent arrangement.

SyOps wishing to obtain the 'new' NoV are invited to contact the RSGB/DCC Mailbox Co-ordinator via one of the following means:
