| Message | I have just modified a WA15 Westminster for 144.55Mhz AM, but so far nothing heard in IO93fj. If there are skeds about I will try and listed. The main antenna in an 11 element tonna used with 60W SSB. I got the radio for £2-50 from Birketts in Lincoln in a very used state. The Rx was high band and the TX lo band, so it has taken a couple of months to make all the mods. |

| Message | Dear Roger! Congratulations for your nice site ! I loved yor little handheld 2m rig.Good job! I'm always happy to see real HAM ideas and constructions. I have also an FT-7 rig in very a good condition. I'ts kept as "treasure" in my shack (see my comment on eHAMnet). I'm waiting for the detailed description of your 10m DSB rig. See you on 10m & '73! Yours: ARON  |

| Message | Roger, I very much enjoyed your site, primarily because it is about real radio, not just the kind of talk I hear through my local repeater. Your first transmitter from the 1968 Practical Wireless using BFY51s was mine too! Since I only had a Morphy Richards transistor radio to listen on as I was still at school, I had mine crystalled for 200 metres. During the long summer holidays I would cycle out from home to see what was the range. As my aerial construction improved I was covering more and more miles on my bike. Best wishes, Barry. M0XXY |

| Message | Very nice web site. I very much enjoyed your page about the "Fredbox". Myself and a couple of friends had very similar rigs back in the mid seventies and I have very fond memories of our little AM rigs. Cheers John Price |

| Message | Although I've visited before, I've just been having another butchers at your fascinating website Roger! Just found your new AM webpage which I've saved to disk, so I can print out and have a read of during my lunchbreak. Your info about Rockall took my interest. Don't see me going there though /P hi, hi! Keep up the good work Roger. You have a knack of putting the amateur fun aspect back into ham radio - It's great to read of what can be done with simple gear such as your Fred box, Pixie, etc. Although it's nice to have all this wonderful technology at our disposal these days in this great hobby of ours (eg. - such as an FT817 as I own), I can empathise with the thrill of working with simple gear. I have an OXO I must resurrect some time - I have had 162 QSOS & worked 31 countries in the past with it on 80/40/30/20/15m in total. Time to dig it out agn methinks, hi! Here's hoping we'll be working someday, somewhere, some mode! 72 / 73 Derrick (Del for short on cw!), GM4CXP GQRPC-345. |

| Message | I saw that you had an old PYE Cambridge some time ago. I am in the process of resurecting one and am trying to find circuit diagrams and a service manual. Can you tell me how many times the crystal frequencies are multiplied in the receive section to get the receive frequency? The transmit crystal seems to be multiplied 18 times to get enough swing for FM. Thanks Bob VK5ZML |
