    Hmm probably worth it for the short callsign though what speed morse you expected to send? 5wpm?

    Well the test is at 5WPM minimum, but I hope to manage somewhere in the 15-18WPM range

    im a newbie and im hoping to start my foundation course in September, i cant find any training courses before then in my area

    Anyway i was wondering in the UK is there any courses you can take after the advanced full license?? I was wondering this because the advanced means we can go upto a power of 400 watts but ive seen amplifiers for sale which are like upto 1.5kw. If your only licensed to goto 400watts then there must be something more you can get to legally goto the 1.5kw this amplifier is for.

    Someone clarify because i havnt got a clue.

    Stewmath in the UK Advanced/Full Licence is the 3rd and final licence.

    Yes, companies sell 1.5Kw amps, but these would either have to be used upto 400w or exported to other countries where these powers are legal (like the US for example).
