What other hobbies do you all have

Hi Paul,

It is interesting that you were or are a radio ham. I used to operate DL2AG using mostly CW morse. (That was a forces ham station in Germany) I used to use a vibroflex side by side key. An RA17 receiver and a Collins KW2A transmitter and Linear Amplifer. those were the days.!

I love my mountain trekkin/hill walking. I was going to take up pot holing and climbing with ropes, but, I was unable to. There's time yet.

I love my music. I love all sorts of different genres but I adore rock music.

I have just got back into motorbiking, pillion only at present. I am taking up mountain biking too when the nicer weather gets here.  

I love reading too. I have to be alone in the house to do it, or read in bed quietly. I can't seem to concentrate otherwise, LOL!

I just adore being out in the countryside, seeing wild life, and best of all, feeding the wild fowl. Usually up in the Lake District.

Museums are a must!!! Especially when they have Egyptian mummies in them! 

Hi Ray----still am on radio  M3HSR.  My Grandad was a radio operator in WW1 at the Somme, so kind of runs in the family I guess. Yes, i think times do change a bit! Used to do a lot of monitoring of the h.f. bands on USB, 90% aircraft related stuff.

To amuse themselves, the radio operators in the trenches used to see who could send the fastest/ CW. My grandad had apparently got up to some riduculous speed sending morse.

Trekking is great, and especially in the lakes!!  i love that place!! don't get up there half as often as i'd like though. Mountain biking is great too, but i usually just end up over the park by me, although i've no excuse Cannock chase is only up the road and theres loads of muntain bike tracks through there, ones called follow the dog, and it looks so good!!

Egyptian mummies, you been to the British museum in London??  thats full of them, fantastic place.

I like mountain biking too.  Iv'e made a promise to myself this year to get out more, I'm getting lazy.  I am thinking of going to Coniston (Lake District) on my bike this summer.  It's only about 10 miles from where I live, but I will have to put in a bit of practice first.

Barbara, sorry there's no Egyptian Mummies in the museum where I do voluntary work, but you would be very welcome to visit.

What's silent and smells like dust?
