Well done to all the RSGB team. It is a shame that the live chat appears not to have been archived for the sake of those of us who could not watch live.
Thanks David. It sometimes takes UA-cam a while to process the live chat after the recording finishes.
Way back in the 80's I sat my radio ham exam & passed with flying colours. But I never bothered with a licence with young family etc. My friend sat his at the same time & also passed. He got his licence & used his equipment. I recently got reinterested in the hobby & bought a 991A & various aerials etc. I applied for a licence & was granted a foundation licence. Never taking the morse code. My friend never did either. He has a full i think G6 licence & I do not, I have a M7. We both hit the same criteria. This has disgruntled me to a point that with 10W on SSB & my friend 100W. I have pretty much given up & will soon be putting all my equipment up for sale. I argued with the ofcom guys to give me a full licence & was flatly refused. Way back in the early 80's I used to spend a lot of time repairing CB radios & doing upgrades. I used to make my own notch filters & run 3-400 watts from my home with no interference to neighbours. Talking pretty much all around the world , with postcards I even joined the world wide radio club Which was WW106. Why should I have to take more exams to go from foundation when my friend has a full licence. Well why am I posting this. Pretty much because you want more members & make it so hard to be part of it. I would taske more exams but at 72 years old think I have sat more exams than soft mick. If you read this then thank you for taking the time.
Steve. M7 DOZ. Out.
I might be preaching to the "converted", but would it be a good idea to co-opt some teenagers as ambassadors, and also some people in their "twenties" and "thirties" as they are the live feedback of where the future of the (this marvellous) hobby is coming from.
Also, when somebody commits to taking the tests, how about a wingman being assigned to them, to back them and if they pass put theory into practice, but also help them if they don't succeed first time in an exam
