[UK-CONTEST] VHF exchanges

[Paul Beecham]

I can remember being in a G3's shack in the early 70's ( I was only 11 ) and 
being rather impressed with the words "cq 2 meter's tuning high to low" this 
was on a Heath kit Two'er. This replaced the Codar AT5 set up that was being 
used for local AM contacts, apparently a great technological brakthrough at 
the time !!   73 Paul G6PZ. ----- Original Message -----
