[UK-CONTEST] BARTG Sprint NOT

[Mike Harris]

Ah, used Creed 7ERP and 6S6M for a couple of years in the Antarctic. 
Being on loan from the Post Office, Pool Technical Officer in auto 
Telex switching with a side dish of customer equipment maintenance 
and faults when the mechanics went on holiday, there was little 
fear.  I had to do some over the radio assistance when some of the 
other bases had problems.  Wasn't too fussed with the Creed 444, 
they should have numbered it the 666.  Not too reliable in certain 
areas.

Regards,
