Home built Tx equipment was used with an HRO receiver during the 1960's on 160 and 40 mtrs CW Dx chasing. 4mtrs CW and AM was also used..
In the 1970's a move of location forced activity on 160mtrs to end ( no space for aerials ) Transverters were built for 2mtrs and 4mtrs using SSB and CW.. Due to a poor VHF location and building up a small business, activity was limited until a move to the present location in 1980.
Transverters were built and added for 70 23 and 13 cms. Squares and countries were chased 6mtrs cross band worked before the UK could transmit. 70mhz was my favorite band and I had worked 50 squares and 9 countries by 1990
In the 1990's activity started on ATV using 24 13 and 3cms which remains an interest today..
Early 2001 saw my return to 70mhz to continue my square chasing now more countries were becoming active..
