Early Adventures in Radio
During my teenage years I spent many hours scanning the shortwave frequencies on an old Heathkit Mohican CG-1, purchased at a radio rally at the Kempton race course. I threw a long wire from my bedroom window, over the roof, to enhance the built in telescopic antenna, the results were outstanding and suddenly the world was available. As CB gripped the country in the early 80's I bought myself a "rig" and with the help of a neighbour got online. I won't try to remember what it was or the antenna, but as a teenager it was a lot of fun. More info on the Heathkit radio here.
I never recovered the Heathkit radio from my parents house when I left home for the forces, and so have no idea where it went, but I can guess.
