Ofcom are proposing some changes to amateur radio licencing in the UK. The proposals are interesting.

What are people's thoughts?

I wish I fully understood the licensing structure.

This all sounds very promising to me as an intermediate license holder. Being able to set up something remote and use the internet to control it is something I've wanted to play with for a while.

Allowing foundation licensees to build and use DIY equipment is also interesting as that's what got me into the hobby in the first place and it means my wife who is a foundation licensee will be allowed to use the same equipment as me for once.
