[Boatanchors] 955 socket?

[Brian Clarke]

Hi Brian,

Oh, my golly, small world!  And long time no chat?

I'ld love to have a copy of that article. I didn't know it was in R&H - I designed mine 
from scratch when I was at high school in NZ - might have been about 1954 - 
someone else in the group may have had access to the R&H mag. We used the 
sets for reporting at sports day events at the high school - spread out over a very 
large campus - sent the results to the base station to be announced over the 
school's PA.

We had just finished making one-valvers - also super-regens - that's where I got 
the idea for the 2m HT - using 3Q5s and winding our own coils, and felt a bit of 
VHF would be fun. Also, we felt that transmitting on HF would likely bring down 
the wrath of the local RI.

***** Anyone interested in a PDF scan  (about 2 Megs) of a Handie Talkie

Uses a 958 and 3S4.
Just ask.
