Finally sold my radio. Ended up being to a local guy who I have met at the club before. He messaged me on eBay and I was a little skeptical, thinking it was some scam, but once I got his callsign we exchanged emails and phone calls and he was legit. We had a nice chat too about radios and setups. He paid in cash…not sure I’ve held this much cash in a long long time! Hoping I can pay it into my account via the post office as not sure if there’s even a branch in town anymore.

So now what can I buy! 🤣

Seeing the cash makes it more real - “wow I had this just sat about doing nothing”. Anyway, I like mountain radio activity and I should get the ft857 for that. Although I’m in no rush.

He was complaining of how quiet the repeaters are here, compared to other Scottish ones.
