I now have a foundation amature radio licence callsign.

I have been interested in amature radio and transition for quite some time but never quite got round to doing anything with it. When when I found out about the Waygood radio club that was being set up to coincide with the AV Festival I thought this was the ideal excuse to do something with it.

To save confusion this is the kind of radio this is kind of like CB radio and not broadcast radio that, let’s be honest, I have had some experience of over the years.

After a few meetings and couple of Saturdays training (and another evening training because we are a little slow at times) we took the exam. Today, after a phone call to Ofcom to sort a problem with the annoying web site, I managed to get my M3 callsign. Wahoo!

I am keeping my callsign private for the moment because I don’t tend to post information that can be used to find out things such as my home address, but if you know me then feel free to ask.

A big thank you to Glen and Graham for the excellent tuition.

QRT (I think)
