"Hamfest"

chhhhrt "Im not fat, im big boned, over" chhhrt chhhhrt "10-4 good buddy, i got muh genetics too, over" chhhhrt

Sorry, ill see myself out.

Before i go tho, one of my dads old hobbies was HAM radios, we were in suburban west melbourne, had a big ass aerial at the back of the house, he had postcard things from all over the world. Something else mum just plain threw out when he died.

PS lol just googled his callsign, its still listed with his full name in the same location, he died 20 years ago, he got rid of the radio about 10 years before that so its a 30 year out of date listing.

That's cool. I assume they do like the USA and simply expire the license.

Here, I know you can apply for a particular set of letters as a "vanity" license, as long as it's not in current use. For example, this one:

is the person (now deceased) that convinced me to get my license. He applied for the particular combination of letters because it was available.

Thanks. I have been considering dabbling, but haven't been able to get going because of time restraints. This is figuratively in my back yard and the perfect payback for my wife taking me to that damn cat show at the rec center.

I've never been to this show, but similar ones are usually a couple hours worth of slow browsing. I can usually pull a few trinkets out of a show like this.
