Well done Steve, give it about 5 working days from sending your form in and give em a bell. If your call has been issued you should then be able to use it before the paperwork comes through. No time to take it easy, intermediate next m8

I am watching a set on the bay and have bought a handheld,just need to get a good twig for the house now,and maybe a better one on the car,and unfortunatly i can only do 10w waterman,mind thats out the back of the box,who to say i could put a big yagi on the house!!! : Maybe get in contact soon!

Hi Cosmic, welldone m8, another ham in the club, post your call as soon as you get it, we should be up in GM land in september.

Hi Waterman, you on 40 or 80? can push 400 watts, (100 mobile) as the cb boys say "keep your ears on"

Jim T, where on HF will you be this weekend, you could be in luck on 2 and 70 theirs a bit of a lift on, look out for GW4SUE Margaret, GW4EZW Margeret (Margaret holds the club call (Newport ARS)) and me GW0FJE.

ps for Jim T, Skye said 88 for Tess, (warning- Mad dog)

73 Margaret and Bob
