replies to all
Wow!!! Thanks for all the replies and explainations i have certainly learned a lot. That landing in BHX was great, any more like that??
Re the morse I remember hearing the Cardiff beacons years ago, as i recall itwas on a very low freq. I remember I had a receiver called an R1155 which was an aircraft receiver from WW2. Re sending the morse, it is much easier to send rather than receive. The morse test I took was in 1968 in the Main Post Office in Cardiff. I was there sitting my 12 words pm test with some guys taking their sea going 25 wpm. Morse is no longer required for ham radio.
All very interesting guys, thanks for you input.
Its just turned christmas day here so i can now wish you a very merry Christmas from Wales. Roger Luke
