Default CB License

Hi. Now that the laws have changed is the situation that you don't need a
license at all for CB or is it that you still need one but no longer have to
pay for it as it is on amateur radio? I can't find anything on the Ofcom
website.

Thanks

Licence no longer needed for CB radio. Amateur radio licence is free online
once you passed your test

Thanks Andy. I just applied for the life license for it. It takes 5 working
days for the lectronic process to speed through. So much for hi speed
hi-tech. You should consider taking your FL. You will get your license free
now and it costs £14-20 for the exam.

There has been a whole thread or Two on the subject, with direct links to
the information on the Ofcom site.
At the risk of wasting bandwidth, here it is again...

As the Ofcom Email above says, licence not required.


That's OK, Malk... no need to thank me, just pretend you didn't see this message.
That way, you don't have to provide proof of your previous suggestion...

I suppose it's easier to stick your fingers in your ears than to be man
enough to either provide proof or apologise for your mistake.



Merry Christmas.

Peter.

Somewhat late in the day, big deal really, if they allowed SSB and AM plus
all data modes then that would be something to talk about then again CB is
long dead anyway what with 446mhz and mobiles etc et all, technology has
killed it
