I'll see if the lad can remember his Morse (I only do the techy stuff these days) but the main Tx seems difficult to tune up (and the Pennant to which it's linked is having a semi-permanent period of silence too). I've looked into the gubinings and think there is a lot of its little blue chips missing.

I'll have to try the one with the little bottles that light up but that shovel dangling from the aerial is going to make tuning it a bitch. Still, a good test for the boy. Must learn, not all beer and skittles!

Sod it! who has switched my junior for a deck gadget? He's trying to tune the bottle thing by pointing it backwards through the sun-roof and says he won't turn-to proper until a quarter to noon. Says it won't work until, anyway, until then and goes on to tell my the radio room clock is wrong!
