kwackers:
My stuffs in the attic. I used to do mainly 2m & 70cm SSB.
G0RBI.

I still have my G1 callsign, but haven't been on air for years. I tended to get more fun out of :zap: building stuff (to other folks' designs; I wasn't that knowledgeable) than actually using it. Maybe I'll run a long wire down the garden one one of these days and see if any of it still works.

I was a radio operator in the army. Always wanted to get my licence.
So I went to night school and eventually became M1BZD, (allowed on 2 Metre, phone only)
Then I never used it.
Guess I must have been more interested in the technology than actually conversing.
Strange world, isn't it ?
Dave.

You may still be licensed, Dave. Licences are granted for life now, but you have to validate them every 5 years; this lets Ofcom know you're still alive, I suppose. It can be done at http://licensing.ofcom.org.uk/radiocommunication-licences/amateur-radio/ but I don't know what you do if you have already gone over the 5 years without validating. Might be worth a try because validation costs nothing, and you don't often get owt for nowt from a government agency.
