Now, the Govt Amateur licence has just got a heap easier, although the theory and licensing paper is still a bit daunting. A couple of months before Christmas the mandatory morse test was dropped for HF licences, so you now get DC to light. The paper is a bit easier too as its a 400 question multiple choice thing but you do need to know your stuff, most local radio clubs/tech colleges do a course, when I did it the written test was just like an O Level, all of part A and any four from part B. Incidentally, I might add, Mrs Notton is G1TYN and I'm G3ZOE. . . . . . . . .
Ah, Morris Commercials. Me and Mr M-C Rory Ballard went to have a good look at that one. It was all there broadly but would have been a huge task to do it properly and generally these things are rare as they do tend to defeat all but the most persistent, experienced people; I think this one has been sold on again. . . . .
Nothing wrong with having a go though, but you do need to have an idea of the black hole you're dropping into beforehand.
