Also getting away with impersonating a Radio Amateur.

As we all know UK amateur radio callsigns prefix is G.

All others are CB callsigns.

Not entirely true.

Sheffield Club is now the proud holder of one of only a handful of M3 Full
Licences, M3M - Contest Call.

Think about it. Golf and Mike are the only single syllable phonetics, and M
in morse is shorter than G. So we thought M3M a pretty good choice.

Will be interesting when we start using it.

But, not quite as good as M0E.

It's not exactly rythmic is it? A call with a good rythm is
more important than its length.

That is a FAQ about amateur radio in the UK. If it had been about rules for

And he either a) didn't take a Morse test, or b) FAILED it.

Well to achieve a B-license you had to PASS (did you get that PASS) as in
NOT FAIL a c&g RAE. Had you ever gone through the system then you would know
that.
So what you should have said,

Not quite true..... I never held a B-license. I went straight to an
A-class as I had passed my Morse before the results of the RAE came
back. I had a genuine interest and was motivated to get on HF..... just
a shame the same could have been said of the 2500 B licensees (happy?)
who ran out and got themselves a beginners license so they could operate
HF instead of doing a simple 12wpm Morse test and getting a real license
instead.

That old nutshell! Well I took the B class but i didn't take the morse and I
wouldn't have till my morse was at a quality which would allow me to pass.I
certainly had no intention of rushing it just to keep you happy so get over
it and grow up!
