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 ...here we see GM8BKE with Tom GM3DXJ (standing) and Mike GM8HBU. The gear is wideband and we are no doubt pondering as to where we are in the band!
