• As I Was On My Way.....

    From Ed Vance@1:2320/105 to All on Tue Dec 13 21:58:00 2016
    Last week I noticed the Licence Plate on a parked automobile that read "144MHZ".

    I didn't see any signs of an Whip Antenna, but figured if the car was
    owned by a Ham that they may be using a Hand Held Rig.

    Seeing that License Plate Made My Day!

    That's pretty cool! Kind of an 'inside joke' without just spelling out your call. :-)

    If the owner is a Ham He better not be transmitting at the bottom of the
    CW section of the 2 Meter Band.

    Before my TR-9130 went Belly Up I made a CW QSO or Two with it, and used
    it for SSB too.

    One time when I was driving through Tennessee I had a SSB QSO with that rig.

    It was a nice XCVR but it started changing the Frequency I was Listening at
    or Talking on to 144.000 Mc/s so I sent it away to be fixed.

    I wish it could had been repaired, I told the Serviceman to keep it,
    He said that He would put it in His JUNQUE Pile.
