Anyone else in the UK want to wake up and post?

KE6FSO monitoring here in London.

I passed the Tech Plus (code privileges) in California when I was 12 and honestly haven't been keeping track of AR goings-on for about a decade. I didn't know they'd removed the Morse Code aspect of the tests.

My dad (WB6VXS, General class) got me into it when I was young and helped me study for the tests. Strung up a co-ax cable on our huge redwood tree about a decade ago and we were able to listen/talk all around the world on the rig he set up downstairs.

Honestly most of my experience has been listening to old guys natter away on the 2meter band so I lost interest after a few years of being semi-active.

Do they have Field Days in the UK? Those were fun!
