In message , Dave D
writes rather advanced for their time, crap case, crap internal aerial. Not as bad as the PF6, the metal sliding handle covered the PF5 style aerial! Were they dirty? Very. We were still making a few in 1975/6 until we got an analyser in the dept. that put an end to tuning for max. RF on a diode detector at the bottom of a rabbit hutch as most of it was no where near where it should have been. Dave -- Bill |

I always assumed it was simply a repair shop bit of kit. I made one from cardboard about the time I was first licenced- it was used many times to convert PF1s. I've still got a couple of PF1s in the loft I think- including one rx converted to 2m. -- Brian Reay www.g8osn.org.uk www.amateurradiotraining.org.uk FP#898 |

Yes, I came in after PF1's were all but finished but we still had the wire cage, seem to recall it stood about 4/5 foot high. Blooming long time ago though.

That must have been fun. We used to make VHF PF5's for amusement though. -- Bill |

Don't recall it being quite 5 ft but maybe. I made one from cardboard about the time I was first licenced- it was used many times to convert PF1s.

It wasn't two bad actually- bit deaf with the original 'plate' antenna but with a 19" bit of wire it wasn't too bad. Pye kit from that era was a delight to convert and there always seemed to be loads at rallies. -- Brian Reay www.g8osn.org.uk www.amateurradiotraining.org.uk FP#898 |

1. Brian, OM, there was no response from you to my offer that you
should consider burying the hatchet. 2. You've stopped responding to me, despite that you were so happy to talk to me at Didcot for the 5 minutes, or so, in total in 5 second bursts that we spent together on Sunday at Didcot. Have I done or said something to offend you? Coming on top of your frequent habit of sneering at ideas that you whine are "bodges", your outburst below seems to be the Freudian Slip of someone who may be quite _INSECURE_ and of a bullying personality, do you not think.

Brian, are you sulking in the tradition of a Childish Broadcaster (CBer)?

If someone were to sulk, would that be instrumental in their
habit of sneering in general terms about software, etc, showing an increase as they desperately tried to save face but, in fact, showed _INSECURITY_? "Airy R.Bean" wrote in message ...
