Will be taking my examination on amateur radio in the next week and will publish my callsign once I've passed, crash study over the last two weeks :D

QRZ.com is dragging its heels uploaded my license which has the minimum information required to be listed and they still haven't added me yet! Must point out to radio amateurs that qrz.com is not the licensing authority for amateur radio!

Love the humour of some radio amateurs when querying newly qualified M7 callsigns, I'm only responsible to Ofcom the licensing authority in the UK. Logs are only necessary for checking about local interference if there is a complaint and can only be ordered by Ofcom.

But do keep a log of the general times I TX :D

I decided to go for my 2E0 callsign exam shortly to set up a 1W simplex DMR gateway on 2m from my QTH (2.5W ERP), unfortunately, the SWC wasn't such a good idea after all. Watch this space for further information on the Plymouth area.
