ACMA Consultation : non-assigned amateur regulatory arrangements

[VK2CSW]

Personally I think option A is the safest one i.e keep the existing apparatus licensing arrangements with the same licence conditions.

As the WIA says, that option with the offer of negotiation re things to improve efficiency and cost savings for the ACMA.

I think it would be a fatal mistake to vote for option C, either on the assumption that it is going to happen anyway, or vote for option C with conditions, which the ACMA may or may not accept i.e. "you voted for option C well here it is, and we'll talk in the fullness of time about your conditions".

A serious question:

Do you really think that the bureaucrats and bean counters actually care what the results of some poll run by some hobbyists are?

I certainly don't.

We can vote for whatever we like but given there is but a handful of us occupying what has become valuable spectrum and they clearly have the directive to reduce costs, then what option do they have?
