Default For the newbie, a FAQ, "What is _REAL_ Ham Radio?"

cost effective does not matter to these types


That is a bit unkind Mark. Not all amateurs can afford to scrap radios that,
in real terms, are beyond economic repair. Equally, "fixing it" is more fun
than buying a new one, or maybe paying someone else to fix it.

Now your amateur licence is free, why not send at least £15 per year to
support the
Radio Communications Foundation or STELAR?
