I Passed - Exam results for the
March Amateur Radio Advanced License arrived today. I PASSED!!!!
New call sign should be on it's way very soon.
16 March 2006
Advanced Licence.
I took the exam for the final stage of the Amateur Radio
licence last night, 15.03.06
Results of the exam will take around 4 - 6 weeks, the waiting is going to
kill me!
The exam was 62 questions in 2
hours. All multiple choice with 4 possible answers.
Most of the questions were OK but some were written by
persons of "fatherless origins".
I think I did OK and there is only 1 question that I know I answered wrong
as I looked up the correct answer after the exam. The pass mark is 60 - 70%
or there abouts so I think I have done enough to pass which is all I need.
Look out for a redesign of the site if/when my callsign changes.
09 February 2006
I have noticed an increase in hits on
the site since the release of the Tom Tom POI files. I hope everyone is

yahoo which will I hope synchronize with my PDA, so I hope it will always be
up to date.

Site or a least a basic version went
live this morning.
The transfer of ADSL service to Zen went flawlessly. As soon as I got up I
noticed that the connection had been lost, Just input the new username and
password and hey presto back on line.
Just hope that the installation of my new Wireless router goes as easily.
Should hopefully arrive tomorrow.
6th March 2005
Started working on this website. I
decided on a whole new site ready for the move to Zen Internet on Monday 7th
March.
Hopefully the basic's will be online and ready to go early on Monday.
Well it's Mothers Day here and also my Dad's birthday so I will not get to spend much time completing this site today, but the basic layout is ready to go live.
