    Baofeng ham radios uv5r

    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!

    Baofeng ham radios uv5r

    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!

    Baofeng ham radios uv5r

    The simple answer, legally, no. The reason being, even though you can tune these radios into PMR frequencies, the lowest power setting is 1 watt, the maximum for PMR is 0.5 watts. PMR are non licence handheld radios, you can buy a cheap set for the price of a beofeng, then you and you lad can...

    Slingshot/Catapult shooters

    Love to shoot a catty, make my own from a tree fork n flat bands, ammo wise steel bearing for consistency. I reload my own shotgun cartridges and tried out my Lee 00buck mould and they are best yet, weightier but smaller than the steel, far more effective. Now ‘playing" in the garden I use clay...

    Be a real man!

    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.
