I'm not a licensed operator.. merely a listener.. not entirely without experience.. 12 years in RA Sigs.. and a failed exam after a lot of study.. my teachers then were valve dinosaurs.. not that there is anything wrong with valves.. but I copped a major question about something my mentors had seen fit to skip over.. a block diagram of an SSB transceiver.. simple but novel in those days.. and my tech friends at Vinten had already crystalled up an old MTR13 with the current 4 repeaters at the time for me.. I've still got it.. dusty and I don't know if it still even works.. Life has disappointments but I still enjoy listening in.. Best wishes to all out there on the ether.. Geoff.
