I never got on well with hamsphere for some reason. Perhaps it lacked some of the real aspects of what radio is about (running about with long bits of wire) or that it was somehow no more than internet voice chat with a nice frontpage to play with.
I'm still a newbie M6 and a bit mike shy since taking the test and dropping out of the local club meets due to them being the wrong side of town for me. Still trying to learn morse and haven't quite got it yet.
Maybe I should go back to hamsphere. :-?
I do need to talk to fellow hams to get my confidence up I think.
