At the Jock White and s...

Re: HAM Radio (Amateur Radio)

I do like the 706. We have one in the AREC Truck. As for 80m whips we have an Icom F7000 that we have a long wire for but can and do tune it on the ZC-1 whip on the back of the truck. Here's a photo of the old girl, a 1974 International D1310, still on it's original tyres! (And yes it is for sale!) ...

Re: Silent on ORE but still not silent.....

Every time I read something written by this guy I always think he is a muppet with a capital "F". He is one man trying to push his opinions onto others and blindly refuses to listen to reason and logic. (Lot like someone else pictured on this thread.) I wonder about his agenda? Turn public...
