Umm, we were sitting opposite each other at my place.

No. He may not want it known.

So not even with graft and corruption will we find out!

Bugger, was wanting to upgrade my "F call" to standard. Will now have to find more time in each week. My calculations are that I only need about 264 hours per week and 342 years to get everything I want to do, done!

Hi, I have a ham licence VK3MRC, and so does my bride (of 26 years) whose callsign is VK3NKC - and we get out and about as often as we can, including JOTA

I will soon have a licence.

I did the Foundation exam yesterday. I don't think I'll bother with Standard or Advanced at this stage. I don't think I'd have much problem with the theory (I've been a radio tech for 50 years).

Now to look for a HF transceiver. My wife is not happy - more money being spent on another hobby. She also thinks hams are strange (she may well be right having met quite a few over the years. Many of my colleagues in OTC were hams.)

Congrats what call sign did you request?

VK2FRLB or VK2FRON (I would have taken RFON if I could - those who frequented the OL forum when I used to be on there will know why. )
