Thread: Own up, who's got a ham licence?

I worked under the call sign VP2LIQ Maritime Mobile for 10 years but I guess that does not count. Had my last QSO and went QRT for the final time in Jan 1980 when we sailed into Mooloolaba.

Remember when you could walk into Dick Smiths and pick up a brand new Kenwood TS520 for $500.

One remembers when Dick Smith Electronics was a single store in Artarmon.

This one remembers that, too. I used to visit every time I flew across the ditch. We had a crowd called DJ Reid over there - not quite as good for the ham operators...
