Are you sure the F callsign had expired? If you click on a location with more than one callsign it will only show one of them. I can't see any way to view the other callsigns That was sometimes ago last year ... and I know he had a Standard Call already and his F-call had expired but it was still s...

By the way, while it was up ... I notice that the information in it was a little bit outdated ... for example someone that I know, who already upgraded his license long time ago still shown as an F-call ... I wonder how often does the database on this site getting refreshed from the ACMA database ...

The $60,000 question... Quite possibly ... but hey, if the quality is the same and does the same job why not buy one of them if they are a lot cheaper ... Cheaper in price probably not necessarily means that they are worse in the quality ... there is a possibility that they can sell them cheaper be...

What's the quality like compared to Yaesu for example

I became VK6DF October last year. I upgraded from the Standard license with the previous call of VK6NDT (which i originally got as a Novice with 10wpm back in 02) I didnt go down the usual path but upgraded by doing the RPL (recognition of Prior Learning) being a Communications Tech for 10yrs and h...

Some hams only ever talk to locals on the repeaters (much like UHF CBers would, except without the language and farting into the mike) At the heart of every radio frequency transmitter is an array of electronic circuitry generating a RF signal that carries useful information, or intelligence. First...

Do we have this AX again tomorrow for ANZAC Day ?

Limited licence was the same as full licence but without the CW requirement (HF was out of bounds for Limited). VHF and UHF was out of bounds for Novice. Hello Rob, thank's for the information ... That's kind of interesting ... if HF was out of bounds for Limited and VHF/UHF was out of bound for No...
