We now know who brought Walt’s Amstrad 901. Remember AMSTRAD 901 sale? The new lucky owner of this very prestigious radio
is MW6OTT. You could almost believe this
is a made up call sign (Over The Top. OTT) but no its the real thing!
Just like the casino in Las Vegas brought that piece of burnt toast with an image of Christ Mr.
Mark went OTT with his pocket money and brought himself the 901.
Here is what Mark has to say about himself:
My name is Mark I'm 48 years of age and married to my wonderful wife, I have two sons. I live on the island of Anglesey in north Wales and have been licenced since 1st december 2010 and operate daily.
Below are some images of my setup consisting of an Amstrad 901 citizen's band radio, Kenwood ts 940s (HF) and Yaesu ft 7500 (VHF), and my main antennas.
Now, not
everyone is lucky enough to actually get to own something that once belonged to
Captain Megawatt, but Mr. Mark is very proud of his historic radio, placing it in first position on his QRZ page.
Helga had a listen around the bands to see if she could find Mr Mark. Locating him on 40m reports that Mr. Mark is a very competent operator, always giving his "working conditions" and sharing his knowledge about Delta Loops. Obviously not a Mega Gun like Walt but with the 10W output that his license limits him to, he still manages to punch an impressive signal over into Germany and the rest of Europe.
Mark likes to keep his QSO's quite short, obviously squeezing in his limited time on the air in between a busy schedule. We would love to know if he gets to use the 901 much and has he had any memorable moments that he would like to share.
Lucky man Mark, we would love to hear from you!

ReplyDeleteOh dear. looks like Old Bob Clondike has thrown her dollies out of the pram. Her skipping rope has had too many knots tied in it by Dunstable Dave. Well done Dave. I wish I had screwed up his little girlie Poll.
JUST A BIT OF FUN. I dont think so. This sad little blog is just an insidious opportunity for anomalously sewing the seeds of racial hatred. SHAME ON YOU

I agree. What a heap of poop. May be Bob should change his name to Captain Ahab. Such a dedication to revenge seems a bit paranoid.
Inciting hatred is a nasty pastime Bob. Grow up and get a life.

Bob's response to clever Dave's destruction of the poll shows him up for what he is.
The blog is a deceitful way of inciting anti German hatred. He obviously cant take the "just a bit of fun" that he says the blog is all about.
Have a nice holiday Bob
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've been framed Bob.
