Welsh Politician to Visit Amateur Radio Station

Conservative North Wales Assembly Member, Mark Isherwood has been invited by MW1CFN to better understand modern amateur radio by visiting a welsh station.

Mr. Isherwood readily accepted the invitation, whereby it is hoped a positive image of our hobby can be put forward.



John Rowlands, MW1CFN says "Mark Isherwood is a very hard working politician and takes a genuine interest in the activities within his area. He is enthusiastic to find out more about a hobby that is not always as well-presented in the public imagination as it could be."

Mr. Rowlands continues "In particular, it is clear that permitted development rights within the planning system, despite some lobbying by the RSGB, have yet to accommodate the needs of the amateur community in the UK, despite the widespread popularity of the hobby. I hope Mr. Isherwood's visit will mark the beginning of a process to clarify and improve planning law for amateurs throughout the UK.

Mr. Isherwood's visit is currently being arranged with his office, and likely to take place in a few weeks' time.
