My north American amateur radio licence turned up a couple of days ago, forwarded from my good friend Bill. I can’t bring myself to spell it the American way though, hence ‘licence’.
Now to study for Amateur Extra.

I guess you must spend a lot of time in the US? What extra do you get over using a US prefix ahead of your UK licence?
No Dave, very little. I’ve not been there for years! I just wanted to do it to prove to myself that I could.
At the moment I’ve disadvantaged myself. If I were to go to the USA now and operate, I’d have to use my General class licence which has less privileges than if I were to operate using my own callsign and the CEPT agreement. Hence why I’ll be studying for the Amateur Extra exam.
