[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 852812, member: 176362"] I was a swl'er for many years before switching over to satellite. I had a motley collection of ramshackle long wire aerials that always collapsed in the winter when they iced up! I got a good selection of countries qsl'd, and always got a thrill when the postie bought a letter from a far distant land. I remember writing to Saudi Arabia in the early 1980's - must have been just after the Death of a Princess diplomatic incident. Well I didnt bother with trifles like an international crisis did I? When the reply arrived it was hand delivered by some Post Office investigator wanting to know why I was getting letters from Saudi! Mum wasnt happy about this as she answered the door - I was at school. :-rofl2 :D [/QUOTE]
