I was licenced in 1988 with the G7DNT call. In 1988 this was a class B call and allowed only VHF and above access. I also hold an Advanced class call of M0XON.
In 2001 I took the M3 call and was then allowed to use the 10 watts on all HF bands.
Radio communications agency decided that Morse code be dropped and all class B licenced Amateurs became upgraded to A Class.
I have now installed an Allstar system and run 4 VOIP channels from 2 radios.
