All UK amateurs are required to revalidate their licence at least once every five years.
Ofcom have now revoked around 530 licences that have not been revalidated.
The notice of revocation, and list of the call signs affected, has been published on the Ofcom website.
Some 15,000 licenses remain un-revalidated and Ofcom say these will be revoked in due course.
