The SWR meter will go between the radio set & the antenna, you plug the antenna in the side where it says ANT & you need a short patch lead to go from the radio to the SWR meter, you have the instructions from there.

The CB licence has been scrapped but regulations are still applicable, If anyone is interested I'll dig out the letter I received from ofcom.

Not any more you don't, I received a letter telling me I no longer need a licance to operate a CB, I had held my CB licence for 12 years.

Where are you lightweight? I'm sure a member near you would help you set it up.

we had a good long debate on this, later S2as are the same as the S3, have a look: http://www.takeforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=518&mforum=mvwf Cheers Ian

Join them all, they all have there strong points.

You took your time Gareth.

Hi David, it's interesting how many of us ex-service get into this, I think it fills a void. I missed the comradeship that this hobby is akin to, you'll always have mates in this hobby. Welcome.

Another Devon member, we ought to arrange a SW run.

aha, that was my point earlier in the thread, & who reported it? a blinkered Chris Davies, these are the people we should be talking to, you'd think if someone was going to do a report on a show they would at least get their facts straight, Chris Davies still refers to it being war on the line. Cheers Ian

the windscreen mag may be 50/50 on war time vehicles & pw vehicles but this 6 years / 60 years, still hardly equal. The Buckfastleigh show was called war on the line as it was ww2 vehicles taking part, this changed a few years ago to the Buckfastleigh military weekend as pw vehicles were in equal numbers to WW2 vehicles, what I don't understand is why events are still being called ww2 events, if the Devon area MVT can change the Buckfastleigh event name why can't other areas? Cheers Ian

Maybe the mvt could start a sister group, the PWMVT rather than risk loosing pwmv owners as members, yeah I know, it will never happen :whistle: I had the statistics for 2005 of how many people didn't renew their MVT membership & how many new members joined, it was something like 1000 didn't renew but 1200 joined, I don't recall the actual figures but it was along those lines, it wont be until the membership numbers drop that the MVT will consider doing anything more for the pwmv owners, I know there has been more info on PWMVs since complaints were made including one from myself, if you want more then you are going to have to shout louder & to the right people, ranting on a public forum isn't going to get anyone anywhere. Cheers Ian

Me with some mvwf members at Okehampton 06

I got cheated out of Buckfastleigh 2007 :roll:, unfortumately I'll be at silverstone for 3 days for the british F1GP :banana:, my son bought me a 3 day pass for christmas :tup:

Dates for Buckfastleigh are 7th & 8th July Okehampton dates are 8th & 9th september, this is going to be back up to par with the return of the marines & the band. Cheers Ian

Katy is in a christmas parade this evening, she's not quite ready yet, just a few more bits to add. http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/1757/xmaskatyyo7.jpg[/img] The lights don't show in this picture but will look good tonight.

Farmhouse cook book, the wife bounced it off the back of my head & I've been good ever since.

Wife for sale, 1 careful owner, low mileage for year, regularly serviced, looking a bit tired, a bit stiff in the mornings & difficult to get going but probably just needs the nipples greasing, there's also a blow in the exhaust, Free to collector. :naughty:

Has anyone looked closely at his sleigh? can you see if he has a canvas bucket hanging on it? :-D

Bucket on the pintle hook, I heard it was a signal that the driver was single, depending on which end of the vehicle you hung it dictated what gender you were looking for, front female & rear male or tother way round, I can't remember which way round it is so I don't hang one anywhere.

Hi SAS, I thought I recognised that vehicle, how's it going? Cheers Ian

A gearbox that doesn't squeal like a pig.

:goodidea: Here's a tip for you Jack, take some viagra with you, break them into 4 pieces & take one 1/4 of a tablet 30 minutes before using the loo, it will get it sticking out far enough that you wont pee on yourself, you know how the cold effects us blokes. :rofl:
