Advanced exam - 05/12/2011

Yes, I have just logged onto the Ofcom site and it let me apply for the Full Licence. Unless there's a fault with Ofcom's site, then I suppose it means I have passed.
My new callsign is M0HBN. Or perhaps that should be ME0HBN because my address is England.

Well done to Wireless62 and all the time he doubted himself. I also thank the RSGB for their quick response in the marking and also to the Bromley District Amateur Radio Club for hosting the exam.

That only applies to Intermediate licence holders.

They asked that at every exam I did.

That's what I thought as well.

Looking in the Advance! Full Licence Manual Page8, it says:

"Amateur call signs are of the format Gxnaaa, Mxnaaa and 2xnaaa where x is the regional secondary identifer as defined in the licence booklet(eg. W for Wales); n is a number between 0 and 9"

On another note, I just recieved confirmation of my results through the post.
