Its got a callsign on it, M0GVZ, one which is issued by OFCOM when you apply for your license which you’ll find if you do some research belongs to me and can only belong to me. Its not transferrable, it doesn’t get re-issued.
You need M0GVZ on a name plate so we can see you. Over
Tsssssk (or whatever the sound is when you ■■■■ air in through your teeth) I’d have just said “Pat you’re a nob”, he’d have then called me similar in return and we’d have parted as friends, instead Conor you’ve opened yourself up to a tad of abuse mate. Nobody doubts your knowledge and passion for radio, but IMO it’s easier to retain the moral highground by staying schtumm.

I’d go with pfffft rather than tssssk. I think tssssk sounds more like pushing air outwards through your teeth. Obviously this is only my opinion as I’m not am expert on sucky air noises and don’t have a certificate to back me up.
Don’t have a call sign either come to think of it.

Not when you want to shut someone up for good about something. To do that you need to demonstrate that they’re well and truly on a hiding to nothing.
I know Quinny has mentioned radio hamming before but is it any use if the bloke coming the other way doesn’t have one?
So what’s the answer to that question from those in the know?
If I go for this more expensive ham set up can I still talk to my running mate if he is only on a CB (am or fm) ?
Tks.
Intrigued to know your CB handle Connor,
not
“Ballbag”
by any chance!!![emoji28] [emoji6]

Get a midland 78 plus. Aerial, mag mount and speaker. You can switch from fm to am if need be (you need to switch from UK to I). That’s all you need to chat to your mate.
Then go on you tube and search for cw mccall ratchetjaw. You need know no more.

Conor is correct. Mine is G8FSO and each callsign is unique to one operator only.
