RADIO | Say hello to M0JPP

Many years ago I took and passed the "Radio Amateur Exam". This enabled me to apply for a radio amateur license and (more importantly for me at the time) gave me a good excuse to learn about electronics, radio and useful things you can do with a soldering iron! Recently, I've been getting interested in radio and TV transmission again - albeit from a different perspective. My current idea is to create audio "structures" by sampling sounds and pictures from across the radio spectrum. It's early days yet, but I think there is a decent idea for an artwork here. Anyway, I decided to re-apply for a broadcast license and have received the call sign "M0JPP". i don't know if I will be using it to transmit that much, but it might come in handy in the future.
