I have a new HF radio* it is this years release with all the computerised filters and memory's and stuff all nerdy and train spotter types can get all excited about .oooooo3 better rejection on this widget or that.
I have also one that has yet to be launched to test in on air conditions as I almost exclusively use morse and the chaps as the emporium can't.
I am being a bit gentle with it as the retail will be around £6,500 for the basic fully loaded with all the options £7,995, It is the affordable version of there top of the rang model that start at £10,800.
Most of my transmitting equipment is home made and very rugged, as I go portable**
*hf is high frequency from 160m to about 6m or 10m depending on what side of the ecumenical divide you stand or in my case paddle about in prodding random theory's with a sharp pointy stick to see what happens.
Mine is a very cheep "relatively" one as I don't use ssb "single side band this involves using a microphone" I don't need any thing fancy and lard y dar, posh like.
**this for the benefit of the bygad, is when you go out in to nature with "camping gear" set up a makeshift antenna normally in a remote location that is not transmitted from regularly.
This involves "manual labor" and only a bounder would have minions do this for him as it is simply not done old chap and certainly not cricket.
My doctor# said that the ambient tempriture makes no difrenc to the 9" bolts up through my bone and wakeing up at 3:37 whimpering as the outside tempritur has suddenly dropped is totally sycosomatic! When was I issued one of them do they take battery's ? Is there an online instruction manual? Can I give it back as being faulty?
#i say my doctor I did not purchase him on any thing, he is a master of disguise as he/she never looks like the same person and has a memory like a swish chees as I have to run through my medical history every time I see him/she/it.
