Free Licences for the 75's and Over |
The Radiocommunications Agency announced today that with effect from 1 April 2001, Amateur and Citizen’s Band Radio Licences will be issued free to those aged 75 years and over.
New licence applications received on or after 1 April 2001, will be issued free of charge to any person aged 75 or over at the time of issue. Existing licence holders whose licence renewal is due on or after 1 April 2001, and who are 75 years of age or over at that time, will have their licence renewed at no charge.
Licences will still need to be renewed each year but no licence fee will be required.
For Amateur Radio, the same technical qualifications, appropriate to the Amateur Licence class, will still be required for new licence applications before a licence can be issued. There are no technical qualification requirements when applying for a Citizen’s Band Licence.
