    Default webchat

    Out of curiosity (I know, I know! ) I tried using the webchat facility.

    It doesn't seem to like my 'username'

    To connect to attenuate.org IRC and join channel #hamtests as 2E0JTP click 'Connect'.

    I'll have you know, I'm not 'erroneous'

    Is it something I'm doing, or is it 'because I is Intermediate'?

    IRC doesn't like usernames with numbers to start them.

    If you wish I'll change it to add an underscore eg. _2E0JTP

    Another member _2E0OZI has this done and works fine.

    As we "borrow" from chat server space we can't complain too much, but this is an easy solution until you become M0...

    Hope this helps

    Thanks for the offer, but I think I can live without webchat.
