Default Re: Amateur radio licence single exam to full

David, blimey that is one spleen well vented. I take the view that "silly b's" should be ignored and are by me, that is probably why I have never noticed them. I took my RAE ages ago and don't transmit much, still the legal ability is there if I care to do so. Funnily enough I got to grips* with morse (more of an exercise than necessity) just before the requirement was dropped. Stuck at a "lowly" G7 for life since then! Round the world on 5W is still a thrill when I have a go and no one has complained about the G7 (so far).

*Grips, meaning it just worked without thinking, maybe "lost grips" would have been more appropriate. I was determined to lean morse when I met a bloke who could read teleprinter off air while having a conversation!
