Just a few notes on my call, as I do cause some confusion at times!

2E1FVS HOLDS THE UK's INTERMEDIATE LICENCE

The “2E1” prefix isn’t heard very often anymore, I think this is due to the majority of original 2E1’s upgrading. Since been back QRV from Sept 2007, I have worked a total of , 2 other 2E1 stations.Back in 1997 when I took the exam it was for the Novice Class B license. 50MHz and up. If I wanted to use HF back then, I would have had to do the 5wpm Morse test and change to a Novice Class A – “2E0”. Whilst I spent a few years QRT, the UK dropped the Morse requirement, as did a lot of country’s. This automatically upgraded me to an Intermediate Licencee. So today, I can enjoy HF and continue causing confusion with my unique call!
