In the seventies I moved to Gibraltar. Telephone calls to the UK were
expensive, then someone gave me a CB set to repair, so I tested it talking
to the UK on 4w. Having rediscovered radio, I wanted more.
A visit to the local technical college and a couple of exams later I
applied for my licence, and joined the local club, GARS.
I was one of the first to try out packet radio and set up a node at the
Top-of-the Rock, 406m asl, and a BBS at the Club.
A lot of effort went into monitoring RTTY transmissions from around
the world, however where I live now is a bad area for HF reception,
and I found 'rubber stamp' contacts on 6m unrewarding, so I'm not
very radio-active. 73's from IM76HC
