Ofcom updates and SCC NoVs

Following Ofcom’s recent implementation of Phases 2 and 3 of the amateur radio licence review, it has updated its main guidance document. Please ensure you use the October 2025 edition so that you are using the latest information.

Ofcom has also clarified to the RSGB that if you hold a Special Contest Callsign NoV and you change your individual or club callsign, the SCC NoV is still valid. This is because your Full Amateur Radio Licence reference number has not changed.

If you do hold an SCC NoV and you have changed your individual or club call sign, please send an email to scc@rsgb.org.uk stating your old call sign, your new call sign and your SCC, so the RSGB Contest Support Committee Chair Ian Pawson, G0FCT can update the issued SCC list.
