Ballot for Two Letter Callsigns - Some Questions
------------------------------------------------
A number of questions have been asked since the details of the ballot for
two letter callsigns were released on 1 August, and here are the answers to
two of them. As was said in the release announcing the posting of the
details - "An application to participate must be on the application form and
must be accompanied by the non refundable fee of
$59.74 and must be either hand delivered to the WIA office or received
through the mail by Friday 29 August." The fee of $59.74 is a fee to enter
the ballot and represents the costs that the WIA is likely to incur for its
conduct and is therefore non refundable in the event of an applicant not
being successful. The other question was could someone who was prepared to
meet the fee in each case put in multiple entries for the ballot. The answer
is no. The WIA considers that to allow multiple applications from the same
person is not within the spirit of the process and would be inconsistent
with the principles set out by ACMA that the WIA is obliged to observe.
