Personally, I couldn't give a monkeys about what people have to do thse days to get a licence.  That I did a full wrtten exam and, later, a Morse test encoiraged me to study and learn.  Constantly bashing those who come into the hobby via a different route seems to be all that keeps some older hams motivated these days.

I've had issues with planners over the years and also had a few long peroids when, thanks to work mostly, I wasn't able to be very active but I find myself still as enthusiastic about the hobby as I was 45-odd years ago, when I first discrovered it.  There's always something new to try, be it some new opering mode or new technology. 

If it hooks you, you, it's a great hobby that can be enjoyed well into old age, with a few additional aids - such as the four electric winches I have here to install on my two mobile towers.  I'm getting too old to keep cranking them up and down by hand now!!

I have to agree,

i have no problems with the people getting into the hobby, but i do have a problem with OFCOM, they could not run a bath never mind anything else, i too had to do the REA and the Morse test, but it does not mean i am better than anyone else on the bands, 

what i am unhappy about is the way its being run, i was on 20 mtrs the other and was listening to 3 radio users talking about one thing and another, then a M3 called in, he was at first ignored but he got in in the end, 

when he had his radio report and QSO with 2 of the ops he left the freq, and then they all moaned about the amount of call signs coming form The whole of the uk? Not just england.saying its getting beyond a joke with the call signs being issued in the UK as a whole,

I wish a new controller would come along, reinstate a license fee and get it back under control and with some kind of similarity to weather it was, IMO: the internet and phones are NOT the cause of the death of radio MORE SO OFCOM  and their lack of commitment to the hobby,

, 

Yes to both:

i have been here before, i have letters from both the old neighbours and the latest ones who have been here for 5 years, but it seems the council have no record of their last visit, when I complained about how close the new build street lights and trees they panted are to my house, i was told then that they will have to stay where they are as thats the positions they are on the planning documents from taylor wimpy ??

anyhow, its all over nothing as the tower comes down to just 12 feet and as said its been there for 9 years and has had bigger antennas on it than there is now.:)

ill keep you posted, and ill still keep doing the hobby i love.

73 good dx and catch you further down the logbook

bob.

If that’s with regards to planning permission, its a miyth ?

Ham radio is a great fun and very interesting also very geeky too. If you like that sort of thing and don’t mind adhering to rules and protocol then go for it ( I’m and old G0 ) but one really should not compare it to CB. 
CB is the Wild West and anything goes. 
ham radio is NOTHING like that there are licensing conditions  to be met on the operation / usage / protocol. Of the radios and of course while using bands / frequencies. Also power limits associated with your call sign / qualification  , in fact your actually permitted to use more power legally on CB than you are with an foundation license .. CB radio 12 watts on SSB  And with Foundation license 10 watts  SSB . 
I always advise to find a local club or a local ham that could maybe give you an introduction into what’s expected. 
But whole reason for licensed ham operation is for research and testing in the eyes of Ofcom. 
but don’t let it put you off. Your either love it or hate it. 
as for cost...... well yes you can get up and running on a budget. But so you can with shooting. And we all know how that turns out. 😂 

Its a shame your not closer to me you would be more than welcome to pop over , I would do my best to give a bit of an insight, 

Don’t worry to much about the tests and protocol, sadly if the radio / ofcom licensing keeps going the way it is, you will be able to pop to the local ALDI and just pick your amateur radio license up off the shelf.

ofcom have no interest in it, no fee to be paid by the license holders why would they care, the UK has so many call signs and license levels for the UK we are becoming a laughing stock of the amateur radio world, 

And with planing restrictions that prevent you from having even a small mast in your garden or an antenna on the chimney without someone saying thats ok with us, to people not understanding what you do or even recognising what Amateurs radio research and development  has brought to this world we live in.

its a shame, i am about to have a visit from the council reference my antenna system that has been up for 9 years with no issues, but now there have been homes build behind my house where once there was non: its a problem to someone who has now placed in a complaint.

bob.

i still love the hobby and will keep going as long as i can, its fantastic fun, from chatting to a mate some 10/20 miles away to speaking to a contact all the way to Australia and even the international space station when you have permission,
