Ofcom finally admitted their failure and committed to active enforcement on the amateur bands. This victory belongs to everyone who refused to let them ignore the Wireless Telegraphy Act any longer. Keep your radios on and report any lingering abuse because we are watching to ensure they actually follow through.

Ofcom has been ignoring their legal obligations for far too long while our airwaves fall into chaos. The momentum behind this movement proves they cannot pretend we do not exist anymore. We are forcing their hand and we are not stopping until they actually do their jobs.

The bands are a mess. Enforcement is needed now before nobody wants to use the repeaters anymore.
