Default wireless forum

This is a dream come true, vehicles and wireless. Thank you Bruce for the pictures. I am hoping Harry Moon will visit and upload pictures of my 2K1 with left overs ideas from 2G1. What is the built-in tray on the Al. wheel well for?

Did a remembrance talk for grade 4&5 in Kitwanga, Started with the Canadian ensign, hands on grenades what they look like and why do not touch. This followed the news story of the loaded rocket launcher found on the side of the road. they read the instructions and posed for pictures. Very dumb for adults
(Hi-way crew). police have found live grenades and AK 47's in drug raids.
Good animal at war stories with excellent questions. yes elephants and camels.

gas masks and why you don't put them on and breathe asbestos and mold and ?? The navy 100th birthday was a hit, one student modeled my pre ww1
navy cabin boy uniform. what HMCS stands for and what the nick names Bonnie.Sue and Maggi were for and the final resting places, artificial reefs,target practice and maybe still a museum

looking forward to showing my wireless truck,both telephony and telegraphy
with full kit. Thanks to Veteran Affairs for the paperwork
and immigration Canada for the Canadian National Anthem bookmarks

Not for now, guys. We first have to secure MLU's future and keep the forum up and running steadily.

To keep you drooling in the meantime, here's a piccie of a 19 set in a Jeep.

Default Wireless forum/Post WW II Sigs forum

As MLU seems to be running well, could a Wireless forum/Post WW II Sigs forum be created? In searching for radio related posts, they are scattered all over. I would like to do a series of posts on Post WW II Sigs equipment. My own interest is the Iltis period (Bosnia/Croatia) of radio gear and how to do a correct installation.

One could have two forums, one for the Wireless gear of WWII such as the 19 set and variants, and then the Post WW II Sigs equipment of the Cold War Period.

Your thoughts........

Cheers!
Stuart
