I was with the air cadets and the HQ were really helpful in setting it up and arranging the exam. With things on line now I’m sure it would be easier still, ask around the local radio clubs if they are interested in assisting, many are really keen to get new blood into the hobby. Good luck!

Go for it, what have you got to lose, I helped with the cadets and got them sorted out with Ham licences, of all the cadets who took the test all passed. We had a radio room and there was no stopping them, those who had licences were the designated radio ops on the sections and used baofengs, as...

The foundation, isn’t to difficult and it’s a multi guess style exam paper, once you have the licence it lasts a lifetime. Why don’t you both try, opens up a all new world, not only vhf/uhf radios but the much more interesting world of HF comms, then the whole world is open to you!

Hello n welcome, lived nearby in Smeeth, lovely part of the world!

I’m pretty self sufficient at home, in fact I do all the ironing as my wife says I’m better at it! During our time in the military I always pressed her uniform and bulled her shoes. I find ironing quite therapeutic. In the case of the knife, never give a knife as it will cut your friendship and...

Or get a big sack of spuds!

Can any one tell me how to plug the hair drier into a tree, my wife said she is prepared to go camping with me, till then it hotels only.

Not sure of weapons, some of the food I’ve cooked in the field, could be classed as chemical weapons, especially the curries!

Hello n welcome from Norwich
