[Lowfer] Latest Part 5 licensee - WD2XFX

Tue, 21 Oct 2003 13:24:28 -0800

Congrats on the call - Yep, getting the application detail is a difficult 
one. I didnt have much to go on hence my verbiage on my application! Im too 
used with dealing with the British DTI application system, and hoped that 
OET would roughly be the same. Everytime I spoken to them they have been 
very supportive and have been inquisitive about the propagation/radiation 
side of the application. Its been a couple of months since I asked for a 
tadge for bandwidth and a little for space... As it looks at the moment Ill 
be paying another 50 bucks for a QTH change application soon...

Fingers crossed
