I spent most of my time on Packet radio and the local-ish 70cm repeaters (GB3NT, Newcastle (433.000MHz) and GB3DC, Sunderland (433.275MHz)). The 1 watt from my trusty Yaesu FT-708R did very well into a HB9CV antenna mounted on the roof of the house.</p> <p>Eventually I decided to go for my (old style) B licence, as the club I attended were running courses. My dad (now M0BAR) had decided he may as well use the gear he was paying for so decided to get licenced too. I had to wait for a couple of months for the callsign G7UFO to be handed out but it was worth the wait.</p>
