WOOHOO!
So yeah, I got my license, I’m now officially VK2MES, formerly VK3XJM and VK3HGI. I ended up getting the invoice early in the morning of Easter Friday which I found a little peculiar, but I paid it via the ACMA portal and within half an hour I had my license in my inbox and it was showing on the ACMA license register.
My first contact was with ZL1HOG which I thought was pretty cool, first QSO was DX, to a WWFF park, on 5 watts, with them running 20 watts on the other end on 20m. Can’t complain about that.
Keep an ear out for me on air.
