Well that's a fucking slap in the face from the #RSGB. (Yes, I am all over the place with radio tech at the moment.)
Online licence exams are not available to Linux users. Pretty arse-backward for a society that started as tinkerers, inventors, and innovators.

Just back from a 2 day binge-dive into operating a handful of different #WebSDR radio receivers, as a returning #radio #amateur. Picking up the hobby again after 20 years of parenting and jobbing.
Now waiting for #RSGB to get back to me, to hopefully verify the callsign I chose 25 years ago, so I can renew it.

Looking for #recommendations for #usb #wideband #radio #receiver please. Interested in #VLF up to a few #GHz, mostly want to hear #sferics, #hamradio, #shortwave, #solar, #jovian and any curiosities besides.
Would one single #SDR receiver span all that comfortably? Could it be used with some sort of computer visualisation software to watch the passband go by over time?
Got my #RSGB M-class callsign over 20 years ago, now curious about RF again :)

Another successful UKAC night, this time on 13cms. We can only use this band when the weather is agreeable, which it was on Tuesday evening! #UKAC #RSGB #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #13cm

This headline made me do a double-take, until I realised it was #RoadSafety Great Britain rather than #RSGB (#radio society of Great #Britain) for #RadioAmateurs - TBH if any #hams *are* pulled up for #DUI (unless they are prog-rock loving #hippies who still indulge now and then , which isn't that uncommon round here, quite a few #seniors been nicked recently) its more likely to be happen due to #drugs they got prescribed legally for age-related health conditions (usually #benzodiazepines and #opiates) than #partydrugs (beware - even a legal prescription is *not* a "get out of jail free" card, and an OM who ends up mounting the kerb trying to adjust his VFO whilst driving might well be swabbed / blood tested)

We tried using a Flex 6400 at G3PYE for the #rsgb 80m SSB contest a couple of weeks ago for the first time - only to find no audio from the headset mic.
Two headsets, same problem. Headset on the Elecraft K3 worked fine.
Just found the issue: Sennheiser connect tip to ring on the mic jack. Flex connect ring to shield on the mic socket.
Solved with a short adaptor cable which I must now try not to loose before the next contest... #hamr

Argh, the RSGB are creating an App to provide electronic versions of RadCom, RadCom Plus, RadCom Basics and the back catalogue of RadCom.
We have a pair of wonderful technologies called The World Wide Web, and the PDF standard, perhaps you have heard of them? They are necessary and sufficient, and can be quite future-proof, highly accessible, searchable, archivable - and do not discriminate against those who do not want, or do not have the latest tech that supports Apps.

From the #RSGB on FB: “The centenary of the world’s very first trans-global two-way #radio communication is this Friday 18 October.
To commemorate this historic contact, special callsigns are active, and awards and #QSLcards will be available. On Friday, radio amateurs will also be recreating and re-enacting the first contact between Goyder and Bell.”
