Just to say hello from a newby, just to say thank you for the newsletter. I don't currently have a call sign yet but start a foundation course Thursday night at Danbury, I'm looking forward to it.  Smiley

Hi Ian,

This is a terrific website and forum with lots of friendly, helpful people here.  I hope you will enjoy becoming a radio amateur as much as I have, I did the FL in October and am pretty new too. 

Good luck with the Foundation Course, I really enjoyed doing it.

Hi Ian,

Echoing the comments of Lucy and Rob - both of whom passed recently also at Danbury.

Hope you're finding the course OK after the first week. They're a great team and helped most of the people here through.

Oh, by the way... I'm one of the tutors. The chap sitting on the VHF station. I'll be doing one of the talks this coming week...

Any questions, please ask!

Pete

Hi all just a quick update I've passed the foundation course and hope to obtain a callsign shortly. Looking forward to speaking to you all soon on the next Monday night net. I was listening in on Mondays net 18th feb and noticed that from 2045 hrs reception was every good but after 21.45 hrs reception reduced and I was wondering if the antenna was covered in a thin layer of frost.  Grin
