Hello Paul, just to enable all readers to understand I'll answer in English. The "RCD" (say Dutch Radio Control Service) has changed their policy since Sept, 1st, 2003. You can get -if still available- within some restrictions (depends on the license) the call you like (for $$$). I had the C license, and wanted to "upgrade" from PE1CKF to PE1PDP, but I was studying for the morse exam. I passed the very last morse code exam last December, and changed the prefix also to reflect the A license that I now hold. For insiders: I hope to be QRV on HF in a few months, and what that makes special is that I use equipment from RACAL, no Japanese toys! What is RACAL?
