    Today, January 11 of 2018, I received my First set of Amateur Radio Operating certificates for 2018 from the     Royal Belgian Amateur Radio Union (UBA).          UBA International Prefix Hunt is not a contest, but more of a challenge in chasing World's Prefixes  gathered within a year. At least 300 different prefixes in the log and submitted to be able to get a certificate.

   My license band allocations are 40M, 15M and 10M on HF bands and 2M on VHF. I was a Technician class 2 decades ago, and am still a Technician class up to this date. For me, what I need is just a license to operate legally on HF bands. I don't think I have the time to conquer all the bands. I have other hobbies too, and I am contented and satisfied with these bands.            It is not the "Class of License" the amateur holds ,       but the "Class of the Amateur" that holds the license.     http://www.para.org.ph/docs/DU-Band-Plan-DW1ZCF.pdf
