Took mine on the 1st September, it was alot better than I expected. My advice would be though to read the questions carefully as some are a little misleading IMO.


Do some practice ones on Hamtest aswell.

I passed and am just waiting for Ofcom to update their database so I can get a Callsign.

Good Luck :)

I take mine next Saturday funnily enough with Compo :geek:

A question I have, in selection of your M6 call sign - is there a list of allocated ones, I know you get three choices ?

The shacks already :)

You get to enter one and it will tell you if taken or not OR you can let the system allocate one. Your choice. It is the 3rd screen from memory where there is an option to choose it.

Put in what you fancy - will soon tell you if it is there or not.
