That was probably like an old circus horse smelling saw dust, as now I have ordered a couple of cheap chinese VHF/UHF dual band radios, and enlisted in a HAM course to get a licence so that I can TX legally with them. Plenty of repeaters to trigger in the area. I could always only use them on licence free frequencies, but that would be boring, asthats where all the toy radios are are, so I imagine they are full of kids..

    Anyway, it's been 25 years since I went trough the theory in the army, so nice with a refresh :-)

    Been looking for a full head height tent with living area to keep the wife happy when we camp together (my trusty argos pro action hike lite is perfect for me lol).
    Today bought a bargain from halfords that ticks all the boxes. Urban escape 4 man tent for £50, down from £150.
    Also picked up a mummy bay liner for £1 & a fleece envelope Liner for £2, which is lovely & warm

    My old man has bought an Opus 120 die filing machine so I scrounged his old home made filing machine for knife making until I get my 72" belt grinder finished!
