Ofcom release Amateur Radio callsign database
http://www.southgatearc.org/news/2022/march/ofcom-release-amateur-radio-
callsign-database.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email
In response to a Freedom of Information (FoI) request Ofcom have
released the database of 150,181 Amateur Radio callsigns for the UK
and Crown Dependencies as at March 10, 2022
///////////////////////////////////////////
The link to the database didn't seem to last long. It's now hidden
behind a 'SquizMatrix' login, saying "You do not have permission to
access the asset".

Before it went, I did download the information. My callsign does not
appear in the main list, and neither do many other active amateurs. It
IS in the 'Sheet 1' list - but so are many others who I know have been
SK for many years. What's going on? Should I be worried?
