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 :lol:

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!!! :lol: Maybe get in contact soon!
