Re: New 68 Division member
Hi Gaz,
Welcome along, look forward to making contact soon. I dont work 68 division very often for some reason, usually when I'm beaming west for the US I can hear 68 div. When you get set up I'll meet you somewhere on freq if the props around. Good luck.

Re: New 68 Division member
Well done Gaz, the 158 covers 24-29Mhz and has a built in Freq Counter, so much better than ss3900 I use to have, so I think you got the better deal!
Hope to catch you on 555 soon

Re: New 68 Division member
Hi again guys!
I'm adding this message to you all before Dave inevitably deactivates my forum account as I feel it's only right that I let you all know.
Firstly I'd like to congratulate the FB group on reaching it's 1st birthday.
Secondly, I'd like to inform you all that I've taken the decision to leave the group.
There is no bad feeling toward the group, the reason for my departure is that I am also a member of the Oscar Delta International DX Group, and the Oscar Delta callsign is the one I use.
As I said, no bad feelings or elitism or anything on my part, but I just don't see the point of keeping a callsign that I'm not using.
I've also left the Tango Mike group for exactly the same reason.
So to all FB members I offer the following - Good Luck, may the group enjoy many more birthdays & continue to grow in numbers.
Best 73 to you all, & Good DX!!
