[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 639522, member: 325666"] Grrr !!! So it was one of your lot was it Llew .. lol I'll never forget the evening the chap from the GPO accompanied by a police officer ..acting under the direct authority of the home secratary entered my bedroom whilst I was still on air... My face turned white I'm told and my legs went all wobbly .. My dad entered just behind them ...and with a loud voice said .. 'son this is your first brush with Britsh democracy and the establishment ...let it be a lesson to you' I had to go to court ..and got a £30 fine ...which was a huge sum of money back then.. My old dad made me pay the lot ...it took forever .. I did get half a page in the local rag though .. And the 'beak' must have taken pity on me ...as they returned all my equipment ...including the home brew transmitter ...which I later was made to destroy.. My old Marconi CR100 is all thats left ...and as I said has been fully restored .. They will have to bury me with it ..as its very dear to me.. btw ..I'm guessing you must have a few years on me then ? I was born in 57 rgds VS forgot to add .. I also had an R209 A so called portable Short wave jobby ...ex army ...ran off 12volts .. I'm assuming it was your R208's twin rgds [/QUOTE]
