Time to rake this up again.

Recently passed my full amateur radio exam, having been through the intermediate a few months ago. My callsign is now MM0VMP.

Ta Jeff:)

I got into it when I about 15, only in the last 3 years have I got my foundation, intermediate and now full licence.

I use my radios mostly helping provide communications at outdoor events and so on, when time and funds allow I'll be erecting some antennas over the back garden. Over the winter I've restored an elderly Yaesu FT101 back to full working order, now looking to aquire all the other station accessories to go with it.

Afternoon all,

MW1BIJ here, though I seldom operate these days. I used to be active on HF RTTY and VHF packet - never quite got into using a mic!

Pete, You can't go wrong with an FT-101. Lots of them out there. Pretty straight forward circuit and easy to keep running. Doesn't have all the "bells and whistles" of some of the modern stuff but will do a great job for you. Hope to catch you and the air one of these days when you get your antennas up.

Louis,

Now you've made me feel old too! I have one from working in Broadcast TV back in the late 70's. That wan't all THAT long ago.

Congratulations, Pete! My first HF rig was an FT-101. Had the external VFO with it, too. A good hybrid outfit. It was old when I got it, but it was in decent shape. Even had the protective plastic on the front panels.
