Hi all,
I noticed this morning there was a notification that my callsign
verification was due to expire in a few months time.
The ACMA stopped sending paper licenses back in 2016, going digital-only
with a PDF you download from the website (with no authentication).
In 2024 they moved the Amateur Radio service from being an
apparatus-licensed service for which we pay an annual fee and receive
(as a PDF) a soft-copy of the license; to a class-licensed system
wherein there is no license fee, and no license issued of any kind.
Glorified CB essentially.
Force-Majeure… these are circumstances beyond my control.
What verification evidence does the ARDC accept? Or should we prepare
for 44net to disappear from Australia's packet radio networks forever?
Regards,

I haven't lost my mind...
...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
