    • New here from Staffordshire Hello and thank you for accepting me.. Im Nicola from Stoke on Trent... I'm at the very start of my journey.. just signed up to do the course and ordered the book.. excited to learn.. When I've finished the course and hopefully passed my exam for my licence I'll get myself a ham radio.. I know what I want to do with it so it's just a case of searching and comparing I think.. Also.. if anyone here knows of a group close to Stoke on Trent please give me a shout.. I'm struggling to find any.. Thank you 🌹

    • New from Northern Ireland Hi all, Just signed up with EH, got the latest book for Foundation Exam, watched a lot of the videos and signed on for the online training course next month, aiming to get my Foundation licence soon. I have bought a few radios such a Yaesu FT5D and a few cheaper handhelds. Obviously for now it's Listening/Learning only. Hope to join you soon on the 2m 70cm waves :) Based in Bangor, Northern Ireland 73 :)

    • Hello Everyone! I'm a Born-again radio enthusiast living in Falmouth Cornwall - was into CB donkeys years ago back in the AM days before legalisation then the Gov legalised it on 27Mhz FM just before Xmas. The world and their sibling bought their kids rigs for Xmas and Xmas day was just full of kids swearing at each other and arranging fights. Then life got in the way, jobs, wife, kids etc. Retired a few years ago down into Cornwall. Then just recently I watched a film called The Days After about the aftermath of a nuclear attack. There was a guy in a bunker with a CB and the interest was resparked. Bought myself a cheap Thunderpole TX handheld and, in an ideal world I would say I found a thriving CB community here in Cornwall, but no - didley squat - round here at any rate. But my radio interest was piqued so did a bit of digging on the Net about Hams (and old mate of mine was one so I knew a bit about them) and purchased a Baofeng GT-5R to listen to - again not much happening to be honest. A bit more digging and found you guys offering a free training course (good on yer) So here I am - I've got my Foundation exam on 24th so now considering how to make more of the GT-5R and then maybe some HF at a future date. I'm in an apartment 2 floors up - I have a balcony so some funky thoughts about antenna may be in order for HF. Anyway sorry to unload that lot on you - I guess most people just say hi rather than unleash their life story :) Over..

    • Hello all. Hi there, I'm a foundation licence holder (trained and qualified through Essex Ham) and despite holding my qualification for over a year, still haven't gotten round to setting up a base station. So I'll be loitering in here for some inspiration on how to set a base up. Thanks for having me.
