I remember sharing 11 metres with hospital paging systems.

I have 2 Yaesu FT-101Bs with 11 metres on them, they put out a beautiful signal
on CB!

People just cant pick whats going on, "somehow you sound clearer" they say!

I still have 2 war surplus BC611 walkie talkies that I actually used back in
the early 70s I've lost some of the parts for one of them and I'm restoring it,
another enthusiast I met over the internet sent me some of the missing parts
and a spare chassis.

I've also restored 2 Hallicrafter communications receivers I have an SX 71 and
an SX 101. Have you ever heard of a Hallicrafters radio?

Cheers
Peter
