Good luck Les VE3KFS ve3kfs@xxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: A or D Claydon To: karc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2007 12:14 PM Subject: [karc] Re membership Dear sirs, I am a retired professional engineer and was a Royal Signals Officer in ww2. Since then I have held a marine radio licence and as a pilot I have held a licence to use aircraft communication radios. I now have a son in Vancouver who is a Ham of long standing and he has persuaded me to try for a Ham licence. I'd be grateful if you could let me know how I should proceed to obtain a Ham licence in the most expedient way. I reside just outside Kingston Ontario. Many thanks for your help, Sincerely, Derek Claydon.
