Llandudno rally cancelled

The North Wales Radio Society has been forced to cancel the rally in Llandudno it had planned for November this year. A spokesman for the society said: “It is with the deepest regrets that after 20 years, this very successful rally will close for 2006. We would like to thank all traders for their unstinting support and encouragement; thanks also to our many visitors in the UK and overseas for supporting us for the last 20 years.”

A new licence at no cost!!

I have today contacted the Radio Licensing Centre who confirm that any application for a new Amateur Radio Licence submitted after 01-Oct-06 will be issued free of charge (no £15 to pay). This may be good news for new Intermediate licences holders who are about to take their examination. (That’s another pint you owe me!).
