    I'm not waiting for results.

    I'm ashamed to say I passed the full UK Radio Amateurs exam in 1985 and it's taken me this long to find a stamp!!

    Hopefully very soon I'll have a MI0___ call sign

    If you had a call previously they will re-issue your old one.

    Regards.

    You need some official paper work with the old call. I tried that. They themselves claim not to know!

    That's weird. I sent mine in a month ago and only included a photo copy of my RAE pass and the £20.00. I filled in the pdf I downloaded and just put my original call in the appropriate box.

    Regards.

    Maybe either they found some records since I asked (a few years ago) or my call is too old (1972).

    They may have done. Mine was from 1982.
