Have never used FM cb but used to use USB loads I was OP 102:buck: . I have gone and spoilt it all now by getting my amateur ticket. When the Landy is back on the road there will be a nice Icom 706 in it so I can work HF and 2m from all the Welsh hills:yay:

I've got a Midland in the 110. I used to have a Danita but that's stopped working. :dunno1: I used to be known as Blue Bus when I was in the SIII. Don't really have a handle now. :)

I know all about that! I picked my Alinco up from the Post Office this morning, and its sitting on my desk charging up. Have paid a visit to JC and purchased an antenna and mount and a speaker/mike. I'll possibly fit them over the next day or so whilst waiting on the call sign from RA.

Hello all,

I use a Motorola Micom-2ET transceiver with a helically wound 4ft fibreglass whip mounted on the rear RHS of the roofrack. Works like a dream. I also sometimes carry around a Yaesu FT-817 but it's a bit low powered for real HF work.

I have another Motorola Micom permanently connected up at home, connected to the telephone line. I can send and receive e-mails as well as access the telephone network from most places I visit. Just a pity I can't "surf" - only e-mail at this stage.

BTW, the callsign is ZS6HZ

Regards,

Marc
