Hi - my apologies, I should have posted an intro here first rather than straight into the 11, 12m radio Forum. Been out of radio for around 20 odd years now; though was considering doing my Ham Licence recently and bought a Baofeng UV5RE+. That little HT gave me the bug again, so here we are! I live on a narrowboat and a week or so ago I bought a CRE 8900 and coupled it up to a Thunderpole Tank Whip here on't Cut. It's a super little rig, but as I am fairly low down in terms of geography it's not a suitable DX setup as is. I will put it into my car on the odd occassion and bash up the M1 to The Peak District and give the DX thing a whirl. For this reason, could I possibly request callsign: 26CT1970 (latter numbers birth year) if that's ok?? Many thanks! Stuart.

Hi there - yes, I may give the Foundation Licence a go sometime before the end of the year. Certainly for HT 2m and 70cm. A substantial base station set up is just not practical on a narrowboat though, so realistically my buck stops at the likes of 10m radios and similar. I've looked at the all band Yaseu 857 and the like, but again, with the amount of hobbies and interests I have, my budget stops with the CRE, tankwhip and perhaps an amp. We'll see, but yes, Foundation Licence is on the cards. Best Regards, Stuart. Edited by SDG1970, Friday, 5. July 2013, 01:09.

Hi and welcome Stuart. I guess you cant be Maritime Mobile so what would you call yourself? Inland waterway mobile is a bit of a mouthful! Richard. |
