Stuff the touchscreen cobblers, can you feel those wobbly soft buttons still? How many tapes did yours chew up 😹 Would have loved a minidisc version of this.
Driving around listening to Atlantic 252, European dx or pirates.. #retroradio #retro

On the way back from the 2012 RSGB Convention with G7MRV stopped at Copt Oak / Bardon Hill (SOTA G/CE-004) 250m ASL and caught a beautiful tropo duct across the North Sea into The Netherlands. Needed no more than 5w for 5/9 using FM on the Yaesu 7800. Happy days! #144mhz #RSGB #tropo #144mhzdx #dx

Nice to see DH8BQA’s feedback on an old QSL card from Dec 2007 (G7PZL my old callsign). I really love looking through my old paper QSL cards so it’s super to see this on www.dh8bqa.de #QSL #144mhz

144mhz contest April 2010 with G7MRV at Barlow Common, Selby. FT290mk1 QRP with the MuTek front end and ‘something’ up the army Clansman field mast… Nice day out, worked many stations.

No time to play radio in tonight’s 70mhz UKAC, looks like a good showing though on the cluster. Well done all that participated. #70mhz #UKAC #4m #RSGB #70mhzukac
