Just got confirmation of my new callsign - EI8GHB !!

Well the call finally arrived. At 4.45pm Derek from Comreg rang to confirm my new Amateur Station callsign - EI8GHB - Echo India 8 Golf Hotel Bravo!!

I like it!

It rolls off the tongue. I knew it would be EI8G something B. Hotel is alright by me.

I had my first QSO on the way home. I worked Tony EI4DIB mobile on the M1 (I was mobile) through the Dundalk Repeater on 145.675 and then Seamus GI4SZW joined in. After all the dreaming and study and apprehension, I'm finally on the air.

Looking forward to doing a bit of HF over the weekend.
