Besides the Community, what do you get up to in your spare time?

Mainly the internet theses days with a sprinkling of F1, Moto Gp , Drinking real ale down the local, Watching most sports in the pub . But before the internet and hence my knowledge of the radio spectrum I was an active amateur radio user hence my Twitter username and car registration  G1TWB. In those days I was using vhf and uhf radio for voice early data (packet radio) and even tv broadcasting and on one of my dual band handsets  144 MHz  / 432 MHz full duplex conversations back in the days before hand held mobile phone but with 2 hours battery life lol who remembers the Tomorrow’s world programme  . Now all the things we did on amateur radio we now can do over the www and on our mobile phones. 

 

Thanks Adam! If anyone has any follow up questions post them below. wink

Yes, great clip @adantemp64. I vaguely remember it and thought it was interesting at the time. So glad things have moved on to the phones now available 😆

That explains why the search function couldn't find a spotlight for you when I was testing it out a few weeks back LOL

 

Good Spotlight! I loved my Symbian SE P1i phone, but then I found the Wildfire...

Thanks for doing the Spotlight @adamtemp64! I enjoyed reading it. slight_smile

I echo @Martin-O2's question regarding Somerset. I've heard it's beautiful! I should add it to my to-visit list. Happy Dance

 

@Glory1 you mentioned JAG - do you mean the navy lawyer show (one of my old favourites) with Harm & Mac? grin

Yes, @Marjo I do mean the navy lawyer show with Harm and Mac. It's one of my favourites too. I have all 10 series and love it particularly because it combines the law and policing in a way, both favourites of mine.
