I have launched a new series of articles on my site, titled “Foundation Stories”. In the United Kingdom, there are three tiers of amateur radio licence; foundation (M3, M6, M7 prefix), Intermediate (2E0 and 2E1 prefix) and Full (M and G prefix).

This series focuses on the first of these, celebrating the entry level licence and opening the hobby to new people. Thanks to online examinations offered by the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB), more people than ever are taking up the hobby and getting involved.

In the first of these articles, I had a Q&A session with John M7DDL (now 2E0IYB) on his experience in amateur radio, particularly with getting his foundation licence and the online examination.

You can view this HERE (link opens in a new tab).

If you are a foundation licence holder and would like to share your story as part of this series, please contact me HERE.
