Jim is just being Jim, Spike's idea is exactly the correct course to be
taken IMHO.

An upgraded licence is achieved by taking the more technical licence
exam.

WHS !

Just buy him a pint. If he doesn't want it I'll gladly drink it on his

I guess I feel the guy should get some sort of commendation. I was
impressed with his cool head and he clearly knew what to do. Isn't
there some other means of recognizing him than a license? That actually
seems a bit less than what could be done.

Life-membership of the RSGB???

A much better idea would have been to nominate him for a civilian
honour,
which is far better understood than any upgraded licence would have
been.
It's what civilian honours are for, after all.

well I want one for all the times I have phoned 999 .........

I believe a life member can resign effectively. But do they have to pay
if they decide to rejoin?

WHS!

It's an interesting comment on the times in which we currently live, and
perhaps on the training scheme in this country, that an M6 should be
considered for a unique radio-related award because he operated a radio
satisfactorily - and in addition that people be so moved by this to
suggest an unprecedented method of recognition of it.

What are you babbling about?

The operator did a good job. Someone has called for it to be recognised.
The method, in my view, isn't appropriate, but that doesn't detract from
his efforts.

You are, as always, just turning the matter into another opportunity to
have a go at the current system. It must really get up your nose that an FL
holder did such a fine job.

I'm almost tempted to join the campaign to have him awarded a Full Licence,
just to wind you up.

It's not that easy to do expeditiously, and even some old people might
have made a hash of it. So I agree it is not outstanding, but it was
competently done, and *very* good for the hobby's non-existent public
image.

Exactly.

Spike, as ever, is simply being his bitter and twisted self and trying to
rubbish the efforts of the operator.

Moreover, his comments re planning, epilepsy, and mobile phone coverage are
beyond tasteless and naive.

Plus, of course, if it was reported that (say) a school trip had somehow
limited access to a pupil on the basis he suggests, he would be the first
and loudest to scream.

He is a hypocrite of the first order.

I wonder if there is some kind of award for people like him?
