Since my last post, I have made my first contact with my restored licence! I took part in the SARS 2m net on Thursday evening, which happens to start at the same time I finish teaching that evening. I walked home with my Yaesu VX-1 in hand and managed to get a break in to reintroduce myself and have a chat. Although I could hear everyone, not everyone could hear me (not surprising on half a watt in a built-up area on foot!) - but it was very satisfying nonetheless.
My local RAYNET controller has also been back in touch - and the group will be covering the local half-marathon. He invited us new and returning members to join in, and be placed with one of the more experienced teams. I replied, indicating my interest, and have been placed with two people I already know from SARS and who I get on with very well.
It's all 'go' now - and I can't wait to get back working as part of RAYNET :-)
