Hi Bunnykiller as you may know its not all about CW and SSB contacts there are many forms of digital internet based platform used for communication when you hold a licence.

In addition to that there is quite a spread of space communication systems both digital and analogue which have specific unique technical challenges which most people could not hope to have a basic understanding of.

Then there is the design and building of your own equipment that actually works, there is lots to learn.

The RSGB website will give you list of local clubs so you could contact one or two of them and go along to a meeting to see what they are all about as different clubs have different core interests.

I have held  a full class A licence for over 30 years so I do have a clue about the subject unlike all but one of the previous reply's.

cor, an AR88...nice bit of kit them, although a trifle heavy.....

held a licence since 1978...call sign G8PEO...no point looking it up to stalk me...not in call book and all entries on the web are out of date..  😁

currently running a modified Icom IC707  and a yeasu 8800E

 

the icom is into a carolina windom at a paltry 30ft via a MFJ Intellituner, and the yaesu is into a 6/2/70 "white stick" at about 20 ft

 

my van has 2/70 home brew antenna on roof and the ft8800 comes for a ride with me when I go down our wood, though soon there will be a HF antenna up there too...
