    I remember hearing about it on the IRTS news a couple of weeks back. The news item is here.

    Apparently you will be contacted by Comreg with detailed instructions.

    You will get your notice to renew about 2 months before the re-validation
    date. The re-validation date is 5 years after your licence was last
    issued/renewed. Some of us should be waiting until next FEB for this to
    happen.

    When you are due to get your notification - you will get it either via post
    or email depending on whether COMREG have an email address for you or
    not.
    If you have filled in any contacts details form dealing with them in the past
    then you might have already fed their machine with an email address.

    If you are a licensed longer than 6 years then you would have received an
    invoice from COMREG in the past.
    This Invoice would have given you your account # and a PIN #.
    This PIN number will still work and if you use it to access the COMREG
    e-licensing site you will see a new section has appeared on your account.
    It has a title that is something like: '5 year notification'

    Otherwise as has already been reported, you will get a letter from COMREG
    giving you the details to follow to re-validate.

    Is it just me or does anyone else think that the criticism that COMREG get on here from time to time is not justified?

    Nothing wrong with a bit of discussion on the topic, maybe start a new thread.

    I don't think that was suggested at all.

    Comreg know my opinion of them. Which was NOT anonymous.

    However Ofcom are worse.

    1.
    The COMREG website: I don't have problems with it.

    2.
    Censoring: No I don't propose censoring [boards.ie stated policy excepted]
    I just think that COMREG are doing a very good job on the Amateur Radio front. Their rules are not hard to follow.

    3.
    No, I am not who think I might be.

    I've mailed them in the past when I wanted some licensing information. Their reply was quick and comprehensive.

    As it would be coming from an organisation that doesn't do Foundation Licences.


    Oh oh! do I detect a thread_shift coming on? :)

    Ask them anything not clear in the Licence and you may be sorry.
