Portable Activities over the years
The summer months occasionally see decent days when one can operate /P on the microwave bands.
In the very early days of the 70's operation was from GM land...below GM8BKE pictured with the late Tom GM3DXJ (standing) and Mike GM8HBU. The gear is wideband 10Ghz and no doubt we were pondering as to where we were in the band.
GM8BKE with the late GM3FYB at Cairn o' Mounth for our first 150km wideband contact.
