Hello,
I found this site through Google search. I don’t know if this is the right place, but here goes. Sorry my Portugese language is not so good.
I am comming to the Islands, early in 2009. I have a U.K. ‘A’ class, Amateur Radio licence. My callsign is G0TJP. thats; Golf, Zero, Tango Juliet Papa.
I am finding it a little difficult to get any information on current “Ham” activity and licencing regulations and how to apply for a permit to opperate whilst visitng.
I will also be investigating a couple of buisness investments.
Anyone with any advice for me?
Thanks, and as It’s Christmas morning as I write, I will wish everyone a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful
not forgetting, prosperous, new year
