I started on 160 in 1960 at age 17.   Like so many others, what attracted me was 
the sense of cameraderie - and the thick envelope from W1BB - the "Stewbull". 
I wish I'd looked after those more carefully!

This QTH means "no 160" but I have hopes for the second QTH (GW3OIT) and maybe a 
third somewhere... some day.

Long may 160 continue as the "gentleman's band" - or "friendly band" if you prefer.
