Afternoon all
Just thought i would share a few pictures of my rigs etc as not posted in a very long time, hope you enjoy.
Early members may remember some of these, it does say i am a new member, but you will see from my callsign I am quite an old member lol
Also a couple of pics of my antenna of choice at the moment, the DX Commander 12.4

Awesome shack there Ray (much tidier than mine!) and a wonderful collection of radios.
Thanks for posting.
Oh, BTW I've sorted out your membership status to reflect your long standing with the group. (I've updated the call sign list showing your Scotland QTH but keeping your cherished original number.)
All the best, Victor

No worries there Ray.
The equivalent membership number for Scotland was already allocated so I did the best I could to reflect your long standing with the group. You could always use "108/26CT" if you wished for International DX but I'm pretty sure any contact you make would often include your location of transmission anyway.
Always good to try to do our best for all members new as well as old.
