Three Peaks Fell Race, Thank You
Dropping you a line to say thank you to everyone for your hard work on Saturday helping to make the RAYNET cover of the Three Peaks Fell Race successful. All told we had 39 operators involved in the event across a whole variety of tasks, each and everyone of you played a part in making it successful overall.
On the day the Race Director thanked me for RAYNET’s efforts and asked that I extend his thanks to all of you. I’ve had no formal feedback yet, that will come after the ‘checkpoint leaders debrief meeting’ which I will attend, but informally a few of the race committee said they thought the RAYNET operation ran smoothly.
It was a warm day, in general times were a bit slower, but the warm conditions meant we were able to extend cut off times slightly without putting hilltop marshals and RAYNET at risk.
As usual, if you have any feedback, please let me know.
Next year’s event will be on Saturday 24th April 2027 if you want to pop it in your calendar? Keep an eye out for another email from me soon about The Hodgdon Brothers’ Mountain Relay on 3rd October 2026.
Thanks again, 73 Mike

Etape du dales 5th Jul 2026 HEN

Brian G0RHI and Mike G7HEN are looking for operators for the Etape du dales on the 2026. Please let them know if you are available.
We have a new and exciting route for 2026, taking in a whole host of new climbs and challenges in the Yorkshire Dale National Park. The route will be 177km and have almost 3,600m of ascent, so very much in keeping with the previous challenging routes.
If you’re interested in helping and would like to know more, please contact Mike or Brian

Foundation, Advance & Full Licence
The RSGB’s “Advance, the Full Licence” book comprehensively prepares candidates for the Full License examination.
| LICENCE | Max. Power |
General Limitations |
| FOUNDATION | 50w | HF (160m to 10m), VHF (2m) and UHF (70cm) Commercially made equipment only UK Only |
| INTERMEDIATE | 100w | All UK Amateur Frequencies Can build / Repair equipment from kits or published plans UK Only |
| FULL | 1KW | All UK Amateur Frequencies Can build / Repair equipment from scratch Can operate abroad where reciprocal agreements exist Can operate Maritime Mobile with permission of the Ship’s Master. |
At first, Amateur Radio Station call signs appear to comprise a semi-random collection of letters and numbers, but there is some logic involved (although they’re not as simple to understand as the generally accepted and used FreeBand call signs). The first letter (nearly always) identifies the country in which the licence was issued, and the remaining letters and numbers identify the individual that holds the licence, and perhaps some information about the level of licence held.
| LICENCE | Current Typical Format | Meaning / Historical | Examples |
| FOUNDATION | M6abc | “M” indicates a UK Licence, “6” indicates the licence is Foundation level “abc” are the individual’s unique identification letters Previous to “M6” Licenses, Foundation holders were issued “M3”. There is no difference in the two, the change to M6 was simply made because the majority of M3 call-signs had been used. |
M6MAD, M6ERG, M3CDE, MD4CAT |
| INTERMEDIATE | 2x0abc | “2×0” indicates a UK Intermediate Licence), “x” is the Regional Identifier (see below) “abc” are the individual’s unique identification letters | 2E0QWE, 2W0DAI, 2M0MCC |
| FULL | M0abc | “M” indicates a UK Licence, “0” indicates the licence is Full level “abc” are the individual’s unique identification letters Previous to “M0” Licenses, all UK Class 1 and Class 2 Licenses were prefixed “G”. Before the Morse requirement was lifted the last digit usually indicated a Class 1 or Class 2 licence determining whether the licence holder had completed the mandatory Morse Speed Test and could use HF frequencies, or was limited to VHF and above. Now all “G” licenses and “M0” have exactly the same privileges. |
M0SDY, M0DAN, MI0MIL |
A Summary of UK Callsigns follows:
| Call sign | Issue dates and details |
| G2 + 2 letters | 1920 – 1939 |
| G3 + 2 letters | 1937 – 1938 |
| G4 + 2 letters | 1938 – 1939 |
| G5 + 2 letters | 1921 – 1939 |
| G6 + 2 letters | 1921 – 1939 |
| G8 + 2 letters | 1936 – 1937 |
| G1 + 3 letters | 1983 – 1988 – originally issued as Class B licence |
| G2 + 3 letters | Originally issued as “Artificial Aerial” licence |
| G2 + 3 letters | Originally issued as “Artificial Aerial” licence |
| G3 + 3 letters | Issued between 1946 and 1971. Originally issued to amateur radio Class A licence holders |
| G4 + 3 letters | Issued between 1971 and 1985. Originally issued to amateur radio class A licence holders. |
| G5 + 3 letters | Originally issued to foreign nationals as a form of reciprocal ham radio licence. They were withdrawn and either they used existing home calls with additional UK prefix / callsign, or if applicable they could apply for UK licence. |
| G6 + 3 letters | 1981 – 1983. Originally issued as a class B licence |
| G7 + 3 letters | 1989 – 1996. Originally issued as a class B licence |
| G8 + 3 letters | 1964 – 1981. Originally issued as a class B licence |
| G0 + 3 letters | 1986 – 1996. Originally issued as a class A licence |
| M1 + 3 letters | 1996 – . Originally issued as a class B licence. |
| M0 + 3 letters | 1996 – . Originally issued as a class A licence |
| M3 + 3 letters | Foundation licence. |
| M6 + 3 letters | Foundation licence, from May 2008. |
UK Amateur Licenses also include a Mandatory Prefix and an optional (but recommended Best Practice) Suffix when used.
| PREFIX | SUFFIX |
| PURPOSE: – The Prefix Letter indicates from which Country within the United Kingdom the Radio is currently being operated. If no Prefix is shown it is assumed to be operating in the Default Country, England. However, for Intermediate licenses (only) the “E” is required (eg 2E0MLN). | MEANING: – Inclusion of the Suffix letters used to be Mandatory but is now optional (although Recommended). The letter(s) indicate the type of location from which the station is transmitting. |
