ICASA CONFIRMS NO PAID-UP LEGACY LICENCE WILL BE CANCELLED.
At a virtual ICASA/SARL liaison meeting held this week, ICASA confirmed
that any paid-up legacy licence that has not been converted to the new li
censing system will not be cancelled. The SARL expressed its dissatisfacti
on with ICASA that the undertaking to make available detailed guidelines o
f how to convert a legacy licence to the new system licence, was not pro
vided as undertaken. ICASA apologised and said that guidelines should be a
vailable soon. ICASA also confirmed that one of the bottlenecks in the app
roval system has been removed, by authorising more ICASA personnel to ha
ve the authority to approve applications.
Radio Amateurs are encouraged to convert their legacy licence as soon as t
he guidelines are published. To clarify: a legacy licence is a licence iss
ued on the old system. The change is an administrative procedure and does
not affect call signs.
The SARL and ICASA will meet again on 6 December 2021 to follow up on the
guidelines and other outstanding issues. The SARL also addressed the ques
tion of sharing the amateur licence database. To comply with the PoPI Act
, ICASA suspended sharing their database. It was agreed that ICASA would
consult their legal department on the issue.
THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN MORSE OPERATORS CLUB
The SARL Council has approved the affiliation of the Southern African Mors
e Operators Club (SAMOC). The Chairman is Kobie van Zyl, ZS6KVZ, vice
chairman is Pierre Duminy, ZS6FPS and the secretary is Cliff Smythe,
ZS6BOX. The Club is in the process of applying for a call sign. Contact K
obie on vzylkobie@gmail.com (mailto:vzylkobie@gmail.com) for more informat
ion about SAMOC.
You are listening to a news bulletin of the South African Radio League.

was given. When the HF Band Plan is implemented - we do not have
a date yet - the phone section on 40 metres will run from 7 080 t
o 7 200 kHz. This will mean several amateur radio clubs will have to move
their Sunday bulletin frequencies into the new phone section.

m from 11:00 - 14:30 CAT on Saturday 4 December 2021. The programm

OKOSA BEVESTIG GEEN OPBETAALDE NALATENSKAP LISENSIE SAL GEKANSELLEER WORD
NIE.
Tydens 'n OKOSA/SARL-skakelvergadering wat hierdie week virtueel gehou is
, het OKOSA bevestig dat enige opbetaalde nalatenskap-lisensie wat nie n
a die nuwe lisensie-stelsel omgeskakel is nie, nie gekanselleer sal word
nie. Die SARL het sy ontevredenheid met OKOSA uitgespreek dat die onderne
ming om gedetailleerde riglyne beskikbaar te stel oor hoe om 'n nalatenska
p-lisensie na die nuwe stelsel-lisensie om te skakel, nie verskaf is soo
s onderneem nie. OKOSA het om verskoning gevra en gesê dat riglyne bi
nnekort beskikbaar moet wees. OKOSA het ook bevestig dat een van die knelp
unte in die goedkeuring-stelsel verwyder is deur meer OKOSA-personeel te m
agtig om aansoeke goed te keur.
Radio amateurs word aangemoedig om hul nalatenskap-lisensie om te skakel s
odra die riglyne gepubliseer is. Om te verduidelik 'n nalatenskap lisensie
is 'n lisensie uitgereik op die ou stelsel. Die verandering is 'n adminis
tratiewe prosedure en raak nie roepseine nie.
Die SARL en OKOSA sal weer op 6 Desember 2021 vergader om die riglyne en a
nder uitstaande kwessies op te volg. Die SARL het ook die vraag oor die de
el van die amateur-lisensie databasis aangespreek. Om te voldoen aan PoPI
Wet, het OKOSA die deel van hul databasis opgeskort. Daar is ooreengeko
m dat OKOSA hul regs-afdeling oor die kwessie sal raadpleeg.
DIE SUIDER-AFRIKAANSE MORSE OPERATEURS KLUB
Die SARL Raad het die affiliasie van die Suider-Afrikaanse Morse Operateur
s Klub (SAMOC) goedgekeur. Die Voorsitter is Kobie van Zyl, ZS6KVZ, di
