Best of luck for the move Chris. I’m sure I’ll be pestering you before too long once you are in post!

That explains why you always stand on a particular side of me. Must be putting your deaf ear towards me!

I’m afraid to admit this, but during CQWW SSB about 7/8 years ago my foot PTT broke. So in the heat of battle, I wired up a straight morse key I had, and used that! #HamRadio

Still blue for me!

Congratulations on the newborn! Yep, FT8 is definitely the most popular. I remember when my son was newly born, holding him while having my laptop on my knee remotely controlling my shack PC working FT8. Good times

Which digital mode are you going to use?

You are forgetting that where a regional secondary locator is used, it must be the correct one. So an MW cannot be in Scotland, and GI cannot be in Wales.

Yay, I made the list! 😊

What software are you using George? I’d like to give this ago myself.

We really are living in the future!

Join the club! There are plenty of resources online for getting started. Good luck in your ham radio journey :)
