As of 29th February 2016, the RSGB has taken over the responsibility for administering and distributing Special Contest Callsigns on behalf of Ofcom. The criteria for the issuing of a SCC has also been reduced.
The new application form is available rsgb.org/main/operating/licensing-novs-visitors/online-nov-application. This form contains full details of the new issuing criteria. Completed application forms should be emailed to scc@rsgb.org.uk.
