Re: Foundation result tonight = 100%
well done indeed I now realize that I must have that full licence even if it takes me several attempts to pass it .I have had a fantastic break down here in France and I really hope that next year I can operate hf from this location .Parking down next to the sea and just listening you fully appreciate why its worth the effort gaining a licence.
I could hear everything from west Canada to New Zealand and talking to these guys would have been really easy .This is a great location though and I think the only place I can compare it to in the UK is Wigtown bay
in sw Scotland which is also characterized by its salt marshes
Perfect places to operate radio eh and now rather than waiting for an opening on 11 metres you will be able to find a band on hf that's open
Welcome to ham radio I hope you have as much fun with it as I do

Good job and stick to your plan about doing the full call, its very rewarding.
Its difficult to beat a vertical by the sea. Just make sure that all your QSO's last at least 10 minutes.

As you know amateur radio has many facets and now you can begin to discover them for yourself. It is still a good feeling getting your pass - regardless of level or class etc. When I got my G7 I was suitably chuffed too. Now go enjoy the hobby and try for yourself as much as you can:-)
