Congratulations Pete.

Took my intermediate exam last Wednesday, was able to pick 2E0SGB tonight. Now for some pre study before starting the advanced course at MKARS in September.

Well done on that Steve, I was hoping for PJP but that had gone, but think second choice slips off the tongue easier.
Guess your is your initials?

**M0TTB** · Fri 2nd Apr 2010, 09:14

Well done Steve and Pete. One of my locals got 2E0SFX last week... we were all a bit surprised that suffix was still available. Seems to have been a mass of IL exams over the last couple of weeks in and around London, loads of the blighters popping up

Sutton & Cheam might have helped with that Andy. We did a course recently and 13/14 passed. I was also told the RSGB finally visited to turn us over, but we got a clean bill of health.

Dead right. 12 of us took the course and passed. I won't be so lucky picking my initials with the M0xxx next year, that's already gone.

I've got the XYL's initials, isn't that sweet after 35 years - young love Ahhhhhhhhh!!

Couldn't get my initials, but told her that this call was better to get across on the radio!!

I spoke to one of the new lot from MKARS today, an M6JVB.... sounded more like a ZS6JVB to me

Nice chap.

Paul - out of interest, how do you do the American exams from outside of the US? - is there an online or postal option?

**M0TZO** · Sun 23rd May 2010, 17:06

I will be taking my 2nd (& hopefully last) US Amateur Extra test at Friedrichshafen, Germany in June.

Next is the RSGB Convention (was called the HFC) in October and finally if I need it there is the Martin Lynch Rog Roast in December.

They will likely offer all 3 levels at each venue.

But Chris, I would wait, get your Full/Advance and do Reciprocal. I didn't only as I run Hamtests so felt it only fair to have sat all the exams to be able to offer comment on them.

Hope this Helps.
