Yeah, regret selling any ham equipment. 41 years ago I was just a 60 year old kid and I, sorry. Just over here, stand by please. So yeah, 41 years ago I had a, I believe, I was a 60 year old kid. It was a 40, a Yaesu, I forget if it was FT1 or FT3 or something. But it had the ability to do auto patch through the TN tower which is where I am working oddly enough right now. At 145.410 we could key it up and it had a little keyboard and a tiny little LCD display. Take it only transmitted 2 watts. But I could be in high school making phone calls before cell phones were around. Through the VHF FM frequency it was pretty interesting.
