I don't. Altough I do have a restricted VHF radio licence.  ;D

used to use a CB radio with hi, lo, and sidebands, and my parents used to run a CB club, and my dad had a ham international jumbo.

Last CB I sold on ebay, I turned it on, and thought it was broken channel 19 was that quiet.

I always wanted to get into Ham Radio, until I realised there was no meat involved.  :'(

The downfall of Ham must have been Spamming of the airwaves.

Hi Andy

If you are looking for a Radio Ham, it so happens I hold a full A licence callsign G7EHY.

I might do a case mod for a DAB unit in the shape of a ham, and sell it as a ham radio.

Then I'll advertise them over the HAM radio frequency range to people who don't want to know.

If that's not good advertising then I'll try the company that did the recent Orangina advert.

Still, I'm all up for a bit of HAM radio. Does anybody use it for morse code any more?
