[cma-l] 4ZZZ accounts and parameters

[Ian Hickling]

I agree Alex - but I suggest that my writing "Same people - just a different company name" could still the be case, as last time I had any contact on the subject it was the same individuals who used to be with JFMG.

Keep up Ian - JFMG lost the PMSE contract to 
Arqiva a while back, maybe 2013. 
 
Then that contract was terminated early in April 
this year and it went back in-house. 
 
In April Arqiva announced:
Ofcom 
has made the decision to insource the people, services and processes as they 
believe this will provide continuity for the delivery of licensing services as 
well as providing value for money for UK citizens and consumers. It further 
provides an excellent opportunity for experts in both organisations to come 
together within Ofcom to build upon the close working relationship established 
during this contract on key events such as the Olympic and Commonwealth Games; 
and to continue this close collaboration into the future for the good of the 
sector. 
 
(I see Arqiva invented a new verb there, by the 
way, "to insource", ugh but I suppose a natural consequence of 
adopting "outsource".)
 
The invoice for our latest PMSE licence came 
from Ofcom rather than JFMG and was payable to Ofcom:

  I hadn't heard that JFMG no longer had that contract, it looks 
  like the new contractor bounced it.
Same people - just a different 
  company name
I thought that most radios used a high local oscillator 
  which would start around 98 megs?  Is the other one an image?
Local 
  oscillator is designed to run at 10.7 MHz higher (or occasionally lower) than 
  the  first stage circuit thereby generating a heterodyne of 10.7 MHz so 
  that the IF circuits have only one frequency (+/- 100 kHz) to amplify
I 
  also thought that one of the arguments for low power (<=25 W) was that 
  overseas co-ordination wasn't required.
  Nice theory - doesn't work in practice.
