These are some old radios i used to use before the setup got updated. The top one is a HF multi transceiver.

My radio setup is now a bit more advanced :) and i have UHF CB, VHF Airband Transceiver, HF Transceiver, Shortwave, Scanner, Marine Radios and some other radios. Oh and AM/SSB amazing the skip talk to people all over the world on SSB

I look small in this pic as the camera was taken looking down

Wow an FRG-7 (the radio second one down in the stack). I got hold of one as a teenager when they were first released. And just last year I got hold of another in MINT condition - still in the box never used - can you belive it 30 years old, and as new!!

Cheers,
Mark

Robbo, should make that your avatar :lol: We are probably all classed as 'nerds' by the general public :lol: Yeah, I have given up my SSB AM radios. Used to be a stack of fun talking to people so far away on 27MHz. That, and my neighbours used to love the interference they used to get on their tv sets from me :lol: Will have to do it again one day though.

Darren,

In the next couple of days I will get a photo of my new setup and I bet you have a heart attack when you see all the gear :P

I will use the pic of me in my new shack for my avatar when I get round to taking the pic.

Years ago I used to be into CB radios but mainly CB/SSB. I had a SSB set up in my car and used to go out every night and talk to locals and once on lower sideband I picked up Antartica who were in the middle of a blizzard. That would be the furthest I've managed to reach.

I used to be on 6 metres 8)

I was also on 27 too, but in a different capacity, that was just fun.

VK2Z?? heh
