Gordon Atkins May54.   Gordon at his amateur rig.   We had our billet on the top floor of tech wing billet block and had a long-wire aerial rigged between the roofs of the two blocks, which faced each other with a garden in between.   The box on the right contained both transmitter and receiver made from mainly WD surplus parts bought on leave in Sheffield market.   The transmitter power was about 20 watts and this allowed him to make contacts all over Europe on the amateur 80 metre band (3.5 - 3.8MHz).   (Thanks to Dick Endecott)
