In a recent 80 metre net, a late participant tried to point out that Foundation License holders are not permitted to host Second Operators. Although we all knew this was untrue, the document was not at hand for us to refer to.

Attached here is the Explanatory Statement which clearly says that the previous ruling which forbids a Foundation License holder hosting a second operator has been **repealed** (see Item 10).

**Item 10**

*Section 27A has been repealed to remove licence conditions specific to the operation of an amateur foundation station. This change has the effect of allowing amateur licensees with foundation level qualifications to authorise another person to operate the station. It will also allow foundation licensees to operate an amateur station in automatic mode or computer-controlled mode, and to operate a station that is directly connected to a public telecommunications network.*
