I am in the killingworth area of Newcastle upon Tyne and mainly from the house at the moment I want to see if the hand held is any good before I start spending money on a home set up as I think this is something I would quite enjoy.
Like I say I am a complete beginner so any help with anything is much appreciated :D

Use the WTR to find local businesses:

(Site can be slow and temperamental, and you have to use the map because OFCOM haven't got the gumption to exclude UK wide assignments form search results for a specific area.)
