Re: Advise for new hams
The pictures look like a line up of mug shots from "Britains Most Wanted".
Typical cross section though, two oldies, a cross dresser, and the bloke who insists on always wearing a hat or badge with his call sign on!
Like every rally really.

A good old " " sums up the video well Mark!
Re: Advise for new hams
Yes, I have to agree... and FFS sums it up for me too.
To add insult to injury, some of the 'advice' he's giving out is just plain bollox, although I have to admit I didn't (couldn't) watch the whole thing.
I've seen a lot of hams wearing hats with their callsign emblazoned on it, but I think the bloke in this video is the first I've seen with his locator square on it. Reminds me a bit of Paddington Bear, and his 'From Darkest Peru' label. Maybe it's in case he gets lost..."Please look after this 2E1"...
