Ex-Pat Pomm (Brit) living in Germany (actually Bavaria - note the significant difference) after having lived in Australia for 19 years. Returned to the AR hobby in 2011 after 35 years away from it. Started as a Class B VHF/UHF operator, when I returned to the hobby I found, because of the removal of the need to pass a Morse code test, I had full rights to all bands / power etc. under all three of my current call signs - DD5LP VK2JI G8GLM.
