    Good morning all,
    Just sitting here thinking over my first cup of black coffee (a habit born out of liveing and working in Germany before the E E C come into being . refuse to call it E U because that was not we sighned up for )
    I digress back to the original subject : Brexit and what it means to the UK radio Amateur
    once UK leaves the E U does this mean that the UK will once again be considered a DX entity ..????

    Will all UK amateur radio stations be able to work the Pompous stations saying :
    D X ONLY OUTSIDE EUROPE . we will be so there fore we count as DX or am I missing something

    Graham Gw0hus (always DX to somebody )

    Europe != European Union (or EEC). The British Isles iare and always will be a part of Europe (just as Switzerland and Norway are).

    Put it another way: will the England team still play in the European Championship?

    Just another failure at a united Europe; Napoleon and Hitler tried and failed also and so will anyone else.

    The United States exists because of France. They financed the revolution. and the gift of the Louisiana purchase.

    I'm quite well educated in history. I'm also aware of France's history since then as well. Maybe you stopped going to class after the Louisiana Purchase.

    Thanks for the partial history lesson!

    Thanks,

    You are DX for me. :)
    I have never worked a UK station in 46 years of being a Ham, unless you can count Ireland. :) I have never been a DX chaser. I am a rag chewer. I worked Ireland on 10 meters mobile @ 10 watts PEP in the 1990's. I still get a thrill thinking about it.

    I had a great contact which last 20 or so minutes. The good old days when the band conditions were good & I still had hair. :)

    History made nations and many of them had good time in the past, at the present or may have in the future.
    And whatever happens I will always enjoy DX-ing with all of them.
    ...speaking DX-ing either propagation is going really bad or my antennas getting rusted.
