The setup near me (St. Margarets) was a WS26 VHF link, not a WS10.

I spotted an error " Back pack radio telephones ( walkie talkie?) as used by British forces WW2 . The sets pictured appear to be Aust. made, in Melbourne, 108 sets, not normally issued to British army units ! I guess some license can be granted to the author: were we part of the British army ? . The other pic appears to depict a AWA 101 set in use..

Viewing/reading that old magazine link was like a walk back in time.....

....1969 seems so far away now.

Ah yes, summer of '69! Summer of love. I kinda remember that far back.

It was in 1969 that I bought my first WS19, still in the wooden crate for $16.

Sigh...
