[UK-CONTEST] Original QRP contest - a little chuckle

[John Wayman]

When I was watching PSK31 on 20m yesterday, I saw some stuff from a K1... who said he was 85 years old! That's even older than you, Chris. :0) I bet HE can work a talking handbag!

I understand you can get some stuff in Boots that stops the nosebleeds...

I use my hand-held a lot, just not for 2m or 70cm - it's always monitoring the Coastguard!

When I get my enormous estate with multiple towers, there will definitely be one with little Bonsai yagis on top. 

HNY all

Actually I still have the little Alinco DR112 that I used to use for DX 
Cluster, but never managed to work out all the buttons!

I kept it in case an aircraft from the local aerodrome crashed and we 
needed emergency comms in the village, but then I wouldn't know if I was 
on a repeater thingy or not. Like you say, all too much for me! It's 
available for sale if anyone wants it
