I know.a guy who lives in a tent. The guy is x-forces and we talk about ham radio. the guy is a genius and deserves so much more in life. He in passing told me about potentially going to visit you in ealing! now i gather that was many moons ago! <b>super moons included</b> .. I told him you're in staines now. i doubt he will actually visit (given his circumstances) but I am going to give him a dh808 or something similar. he will love it.

That radio in the beginning reminds me of the ones in the shop window in the 60's i used to drool over.

"I'll take £100 off of this one" Pan left after the video end and Martin is having to sit down in shock, again 😃 Great to see the boss supporting the team like that and trusting them to do their jobs properly.

That Sony ICF-2001D has some of arguably the very best synchronous detection to this day. It's selectively and sensitivity makes it still one of the very best shortwave portables ever manufactured.<br>So much so, that when it was released it was the radio of choice for foreign spies to tune into numbers stations.<br>This one is a sleeper, and a keeper.👍 (2E0HVU).

Loving the old kit. The FT-290R, my first radio back in 1985. Boy, I loved that. 2.5Watts on SSB into a 9 crossed Tonna on the side of my parents' house, I worked so many stations.

I just love hearing about the background to some of these radios in the FF section. Could easily spend a couple of hours just browsing throught that lot!

I would love that old multi band radio, reminds me off when I was younger. Sit up in the night listening to anything the radio would pick up. I do believe I did listen to Beacon Radio (west midlands) and the (shush) police.
