It is intended that you will receive your replacement lifetime licence a few weeks before your old (annual) licence is due to expire. You will not be required to pay for this new licence." The thing is I don't recall getting that so I was trying to find out what I needed to do to get this HAREC thing and I have to say that I found Ofcom's site rather confusing. I have still got my C&G RAE pass certificate from way back in 1973 and as far as I know I'm still in the RSGB callbook, maybe someone who has access to that could confirm it for me, plus as I say my licence was current up to Aug 2007. I will contact Ofcom after the weekend and see what I need to do. Ernie G8HOR My doctor said one drink per day, I can live with that !    Report

Ernie G8HOR Ernie, i was not taking the p~~s, best bet is just phone OFCOM give them your UK address for receipt of the HAREC (they will not send it to France) once you have this attach it with the application from, proof of address in France for at least 3 months (edf/france telecom bill) and the €46 and your away, be prepared to wait though, if i were you i would get it done sonner rather than later, come the summer holidays it will take forever to get the damn thing processed Good luck, see you on the air, good timing as cycle 24 has started!!!    Report

In all honesty I have more than enough to be getting on with in France without worrying whether I get a licence this year, next year, or the year after that, who knows, it's entirely possible that I may never go back on air, but the one thing I didn't want to happen was to lose my licence and therefore the choice and the opportunity    My doctor said one drink per day, I can live with that !    Report
