Along with Brian M3FHU and Janet M3FHS the photo below shows Mike M3HSX and Alex M3HSK holding their Intermediate Licence exam pass slips. What is not apparent from this photograph is that both Mike and Alex fast-tracked their way to a Full UK licence in just under six months.
Their story began on 18th September 2004, when they came along to one of our weekend Foundation Licence training courses in Epping. Here they also completed the requisite FL Assessments and five days later, on 24th September, they both sat and successfully passed the FL exam.
Moving ahead to 9th January 2005, Mike and Alex came back to our facility in Epping to participate in a day training session to complete the Intermediate Licence assessments. With the IL assessments now under their belts, they undertook a regime of self-study, culminating with passes in the IL exam on 21st February.
Opting at this point to not apply for an Intermediate Licence, they continued to self-study, but now focusing on the contents of the Advanced Licence training booklet, with the aim of sitting the AL exam on 16th March.
After notification of passes in the AL exam, Alex applied for and received his MØDWA callsign and Mike, MØHSX.
Mike has since departed the UK for the US and is currently active from his home in New Jersey as KC2QPO.
Intermediate Licence Exam Success for M3FHU, M3FHS, M3HSX & M3HSK
