Yes I know what you mean. I'm mainly interested in Vintage military gear, and
have a few working sets such as 62, 19 ect. Problem is I can't use them at the
present, as I only have a UK M1 licence for 30Mhz and above.
I'm trying to master morse. I do have 2mtr and 70Cm gear in the form of Yaesu,s
and Kenwoods.
In the UK there are 59000 licenced amateurs, and I suspect that very few
actualy go on the air. Those that do, tend to use the VHF/UHF bands, and very
raely HF, apart from those die hards who are keeping AM alive on 3625, and
1984.
Will it all improve after the 2003 conf were it is 99% certain that morse will
be scrapped for HF access, will have to wait and see.
