Well after my second attempt, i managed to gain my Full Amateur Radio Licence, meaning I am now a fully Qualified HAM.
In short this means as well as using my marine short wave radio I can now legally “open up” (a one time key combination on initial start up) the other frequencies and talk to HAM enthusiasts all over the world.
It wasn’t something i seriously thought about doing when i bought the HF radio, but it was something I’ve always had in the back of my mind, one of the guys at work is a HAM and he egged me on to do it.
So if you are a HAM keep an ear out for MØOSY (Thats “Mike Zero Oscar Sierra Yankee”) 😉
