I don't want to get into a debate/argument over the following statement but 
there is and never has been any such terms and conditions. The NoV as it 
stands at the moment is just an amendment to the normal licence to allow 
unattended operation and store and forward. There are a set of guidelines 
drawn up by the DCC but nothing legal or binding the Secretary of State or 
the courts could enforce. At the end of the day it's up to each individual 
SysOp how they run their station within the terms of their licence.

There was to be a PROPER NoV document but the present DCC Chairman got that 
scuppered as soon as he got the post. Since that time nothing from either 
the RA/OFCOM or the DCC. Does the DCC still exist, it's years since we 
heard anything from them?

Having said that, I do not agree with locking out users of any facility 
unless they are persistent offenders and that again is up to individuals 
SysOps to decide, it's THEIR licence at risk as we were constantly reminded 
by the RA.
