Rising to the Occasion FUNNY Tongue-in-cheek

Posted on by

bread

Tonight we found out that Kevin 2E0KVK has been on the bread line today “first time for everything Kevin”.

He thought he was going to make lots of dough in the posh part of Driffield.

Well he did make dough, Bread dough and all his loaves turned out great, rising to the occasion.

But did they live up to the scrutiny of his fellow hams at the radio club?

With it being Club night anyway, Kevin brought along his wares for his fellow hams to Sample .

Well in a interview Kevin wondered if he would ever make a Master baker, we are sure he said Master Baker?  .

Anyway the scores from the panel say’s it all Kevin well done.

Christmas Dinner was a big success.

Posted on by

This years  Christmas dinner was a big success, the venue was very good been Napoleons Casino Restaurant, we all had first class service and food everything was spot-on .

Once the 3 coarse meal and drinks were over we all hit the casino floor, most of us have never seen inside a casino but luck was on our side, nearly all of us had a win on the roulette table, At once point I thought Kevin 2E0KVK was going to run out of room for his chip, Steve 2E0OKB and his wife Jill was like two Vas Vegas professional gamblers both won, although  Jill had the bigger smile, “did I see her cashing in all your chips as well Steve lol” .

Dave not given too much away could not lose even when he tried, by the way Dave what time did you get away?. We all had great time on the Casino floor and was all up at the end of it.

Too sum the night up Great food with great company, and all of us went home smiling what else can one ask.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year .

Revalidating your UK Amateur Radio Licence

Posted on by

When Ofcom issued the ‘lifetime’ Amateur Radio Licence in December 2006, it said that all Amateurs had to revalidate their license every 5 years at the latest.

This meant 2012, but since this year coincides with the London Olympics, they have now added another year of grace to make it 2013.

However, revalidating can be done at any time and it will give you another 5 years. So better to do it today than accidentally forget about it in 2012/13.

Should you discover that you’ve forgotten your Ofcom online licensing username/password/old email address then contact the Amateur Radio department at Ofcom on 0300 123 3333 or 020 7981 3040 Monday to Friday from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm, email

Remember the hard-working and dedicated staff in the Amateur Radio division at Ofcom didn’t create the current online licensing system so please be polite when raising queries with them.

You can log in to the Ofcom online licence service at
