Upon conviction the equipment is liable to forfeiture together with fines and/or imprisonment. Should you have any enquiries about your frequency or equipment requirements please contact: Ofcom Riverside House Telephone: +44 (0)20 7981 3000 2a Southwark Bridge Road Fax: +44 (0)20 7981 3333 London Email: [email protected] SE1 9HA Website: www.ofcom.org.uk
