UK Ham Radio Explained — The Most Honest Callsigns in the World

Ham radio in the United Kingdom is radically transparent. In this episode of Ham Radio Around the World, we break down the UK’s amateur radio system — from callsign prefixes that reveal license class to power limits, operating culture, and how British hams compare globally. 🌍 This series is sponsored by World Radio League, the global scoreboard for amateur radio operators.
