Part of the series: HAM radio.

A series about all things Amateur Radio/HAM Radio.

Dave interviews Alex about his journey into Amateur Radio, given that he only passed his Foundation licence at the end of December.

What we forgot to mention is that he managed to get his callsign just before Christmas, so that was a rather lovely gift!
