I was under the assumption that foundation limited you to 2m/70cm hence
the comment.

Nice. Looking at what is involved in the Intermediate licence, my
problem is going to be bringing myself round to doing it. I've already
got a BTEC in Electronics Engineering so it's a bit like doing noddy
things again to some extent. It'd have been nice if I could have just
shown my certificate and not had to bother with most of the course.
Depends on how quickly I get fed up with the limitations of the FL but
knowing how addictive it all starts to get, I expect it'll be quite
quickly, wallet allowing.

No more than 10W. Legal is 4W. Basically running <ahem> SSB on
unmodified sets. Certainly far closer to legal than 40/80/120 or
whatever linears come in these days. Got a partial contact with Poland
last night sat on the nearby seafront in my car using a sirio 4000
magmount but conditions weren't in my favour and it dropped off quite
quickly.

I'm one of those who would rather see how far I can get on what the set
can do alone rather than using a linear which, in my mind, is kind of
cheating.
