Licencing Question

Apologies if this has been covered before, I have a couple of licencing questions.

I hold a UK PPL(A), which was issued in December 2004. I obtained it through the RAF EFT equivalency scheme (I forget the exact name) by completing the qualifying cross country.

When it arrived it came with a note saying:

"The authority notes that you have not yet been granted a Flight Radiotelophony Operators Licence (R/T Licence)"

and under section XII Radiotelophony Privileges it states "No Entries".

So, what does this really mean to me? Do I have to do another test or exam before I go flying? And is this easy to arrange?

Secondly, for the above reason and the fact that I've been somewhat busy flying in the RAF I've never actually flown a civilian light aircraft (well, the Tutor, I guess!) so I think I will need to revalidate the licence. Does that mean more cash to the CAA?

Sorry if these are obvious questions, but I'm flumoxed and I've tried reading Lasors and it made my head spin!

Thanks,

Blunty
