    Don't worry about it for now.

    If worst comes to the worst you can have another go in the summer.

    Start on your Morse now :D

    I never did find that item for you, B007 :(

    Hey, wait and see. You'd be surprised how many percentage points are deducted by the examinee for pessimism.

    Sometime we can be our own harshest critics.

    Nothing yet. :(

    How long does it take to correct 14 papers? It will be 3 weeks on Wednesday.

    My postman thinks that I am stalking him at the moment. He will be relieved when the results are issued.

    The dreaded letter arrived today.

    Sadly not good news, 52% so no good.

    I have to either look forward to June or go do the RSGB exams in the UK.

    Commiserations.

    I think some the questions I heard irrelvent to Radio or Regulations though.

    I looked through the IRTS training info and I think it very badly presented and laid out / structured. Basically a Power Point presentation exported as MS HTML, which is why it is fairly useless to study from and won't work in Firefox.

    The IRTS needs to work harder.

    Sure study it again and June is not far. The RSGB route is a lot more time consuming and also awkward when you live in Ireland.

    Take the exam again in June, just a bit more study and you'll get there.
    Don't go down the RSGB route, you'll have to take 3 separate exams before you get your full licence which you can then swap for an Irish licence. It'll be quicker, cheaper and easier in the long run if you resit in June!!
