In response to requests from radio amateurs and after contact from Ofcom, the RSGB will be making available a special RSL “Q”.  Any licensed radio amateur may choose to use this after their call sign to show their respect for the Queen if they wish to do so. It will be available from Wednesday 14 September until the end of official national mourning on Monday 19 September. Radio amateurs will need to download the Notice of Variation (NoV) which is available from the RSGB website at www.rsgb.org/nov
