I remember listening to Radio Wales on 340m in the 70s as a child on my pocket radio in the West Midlands, I thought it wonderful to hear a station from so far away!
Long wave or medium wave, Am - I guess. It goes some way. We all had a little 9v or 2 x AA cell radio. Good old days. I had a little red thing, round dial with the slight sticky out of edge tuning and same other side for on off with volume, You know he sort of thing, bigger MW 5 x C (middle size) thing after that then onto a boombox with detachable speakers. So 1987 that was. Black plastic and everything looked the same!.
@@stereogramfan Short wave more, lower frequency, better it goes, LW. how I understand anyway. I got a handheld, Got across the water 20 miles in land to Wales from by here, all part of the holiday. 35 miles or so. 70cm band. 430Mhz or so
It was Radio Luxembourg and the American run A.F.N. station back then which got me interested in radio. I wondered why only at night and fading? I then got an H.A.C. one valve kit. I've been buying used PM2 type valves at rallies to make a copy. Later got an Astrad Auriga, Trio 9R59DS and in 2017 a Zenith TransOceanic. G4GHB.
I thought a nice lot of stuff. Took some time that to get together. Luck we got in I think. Makes my modern chinas finest cheap handheld look boring. 😀
Hello Mark. Was a bit found by accident as had a bit of time on the 4 hour car park and car was still charging at the 1 of 2 EV charge spaces, had a final wander around and see the sign for this. Off we went into a hardly open front door, just get through then the lights where off, bit as other group came in with more noise. it noticed and then owner appear and lights tuned on, Was a nice little activity if not a bit rushed.
Read the reason why then. Also car parking time running out. You would pay the car park fine then. All I had was the phone and did what I could. Best most engagement and knock the views up quickest video I ever had. You dont have to watch it.
The Radio Museum - I watched this video and i saw some very rare and old radio broadcasting equipments from 1920's - 1930's era upto 1970's - 1980's era. Here i saw many radio transmeters, receivers (radios), accessories, tape recorders, record players, turntables and also some rare printed materials. These were rare and valuable items used for radio broadcasting and transmission purposes. As a man living in South Asia, i value them for their important service of communicating the world which benefitted all mankind. Thank you very much for uploading this video! 😊 🎉🎉🎉
Is a nice collection. Things should be on display as history, old technology things. It was expensive back then. Compared to a weekly, monthly wage and what it bought for radio stuff. Expect the radios. televisions cost week, months of wages. Now so cheap and better in the way of what you got but TV do all look the same, black flat panel boxes
@DanielGlover Yes, it is a nice collection indeed! It's an important part of the history of broadcasting! As you mentioned, they were really highly expensive stuff back then in comparison! Yes, that old technology never went wrong. I value those items greatly! Just thinking how they served us so conveniently in those days! Although i am not an expert living here, I am glad to see them being a radio guy myself! Happy, nostalgic memories!! 😊 Thank you very much for replying mel!
@@janath9118 i got a £19 handheld. 35 miles on holiday to someone on 2w. What would stuff back in the day cost to do similar. Transceiver. Not less than 2 hours of wages. Did electronics. Electrical apprenticeship back in 1990 for 3 years. Electronics in and off for years. Finished in June. Pcb . Circuit board building for 15 months. No work now for 3 and a bit months
Good heavens, what a brilliant collection! I volunteer for the Orkney Wireless Museum in Kirkwall, a similar museum, containing domestic and military radio equipment, some of which are very rare. I’ll maybe mention this museum in Watchet to my fellow volunteers at our end of season gathering on Sunday. Best regards, Liam Donaldson.
@@DanielGlover Hello Daniel. Who is this Bill you mention? Could you please clarify? And I think Shetland has radios preserved at the Hoswick Visitor Centre, although it’s not a dedicated radio museum. Never been to Shetland before.
@@stereogramfan he do a comment, first I think. You lower down at Orkney. Shetland higher. to my working out. A long way to go for me. Should have done Scotland £580 or so, for both of us Scotland coach tour. Picks up around our area, Oxfordshire. last thing Oxford. We are near by. Then all the way to Scotland. Cancelled it. Caroline job went February so did not want to spend the money. Next year maybe. Never done Scotland, even the low bits, england Border. Newcastle, Cumbria, highest I have been :)
@@stereogramfan Hey, I'm this Bill. Yes, I believe one in Shetland has some radios but the one in Orkney I'd like to see. I spotted it when we went on a day trip to Orkney from John o' Groats. I'd like to go to Shetland again but it is a long way crouching on a motorbike. I did Aberdeen in one day in 2003 to get the ferry for a m/bike rally, about 350 miles, not again. I'd take two days now with an overnight camping stop. G4GHB.
I contacted GB2OWM in 2002 on 40m, op. George, GM7LMC. We went to Orkney on a day trip from John o' Groats and passed the museum and said I'd like to visit it. Still got to do it. G4GHB.
Too be fair, not too sure when it is open, Web site say 2 things, Google maps say another, 3 different things.! We got lucky. He knew Man group was coming, a bit after we walked around in darkness for a bit. Thought a bit odd, door open. Still had a quick, it was, look around properly without the LED torch on the phone on. Recorded and went.
AM (MW), needs far more appreciation as an emergency information source. If the net goes down (it will), MW is the best source for emergency information. Many years ago, there were markers on MW radio dials indicating where the emergency stations were (in the USA). This was referred to as CONELRAD. I was surprised recently to read that 'clear channel' stations (50,000 watts) had been hardened against EMP and nuclear incidents in order to enhance their emergency readiness.
I see something on that, some random UA-cam video I expect. Like you say, America. Don't the Americans like prepping. Just go onto any old frequency you like on aliexpress finest Baofeng. They save everything when it all goes wrong. :) OK, daft comment but seen the videos. Seems a thing out there so not all completely daft. MW, Radios do but now our little 1 speaker kitchen digital radio is just FM and DAB, digital. BYD, china electric car still got MW. 5:1 surround sound amp under the TV has I think. Got some things that do. A CD. radio cheap small boombox. Not had MW programs for years, DAB in uk here, not sure where you from has all we need now. 50,000W. that's a bit meaty. I got a Quansheng 5W amateur radio handheld. Got 35 miles on 2w at a high point on cliff edge, the holiday, just down the road from this Watchet, museum is at. Went into Wales across the water and he was 20 miles in land.
@@janath9118 There are quite a few, This not the only thing like this. Bet many countries have. USA, Canada being big. Bet that has a lot. Some here in UK. 2 others come up in comments. Scotland but Islands of mainland so not cheap to do.
@@janath9118 Watchet nice. The museum was the anchor Inn. Old. is nice. Neil the owner came down from upstairs so guess does live there, upstairs. The fireplace by front door, first room, very nice. So 1930's if not older.
Nice one. Added extra of a handwarmer or free heating, Good old school tubes chucking out heat. Always fancied a 1940's war time little table top set. amateur radio club rally, one of the stall holders at the leisure center the thing was held in February always had some old radios, Not work I expect, old but looked nice. Needed a dining room or back room, big house for one. Not my cluttered 2 bed flat!. No space, I like the look of the old school sets.
Thank you. I got a comment from Bart Simpson. Thought it was a cartoon, not real and there it is. Was a nice place. He had got some good old collection there. This video keeps going. System not killed it yet. shame it was a rushed job and done as an unexpected video. Best thing I ever had, wont get another one with these numbers. Last long thing from me anyway. Start to wind UA-cam down now. Do some short 2 minutes or less things from next year. a break from all this now this year :).
Hello. Went to google maps, Amberley. Thought not much here. Then it was down a bit from the main houses. Museum. See a nice old telly and radio as someones review photo. see you got video on today from there. I see where it is. done Hastings, Brighton. Bognor (Butlins). Nice area. Cars, electrics, Those old electricity panels, controls, see a photo, nice. Could be one to do if in that area. Will pin it on google maps. within 3 years, it will be done. If that way. Had in mind Butlins again at some point. Last did that one 2009. 12 miles away. done the google maps thing.
@@DanielGlover Hi Daniel, thanks for your comments. Amberley Museum is well worth a visit, always love it when I'm there. It's in such a lovely setting. Be sure to visit if you're in the area, ideally on a special event day. All the best.
It was a bit rushed. I did see three PM2 type valves at 45 seconds and a couple of HRO receivers, one with coil packs behind, and what looked like a PCR receiver when you said these look like transmitters. An AR88 too? The one with red, blue and yellow knobs would be a T1154 transmitter. I bought several used PM2 type valves and want to make a one valve wireless. G4GHB.
Hello Bill. You gave me something, you know what. I found Bushcraft forum, not QRZ and flickr. Nice photos. Guess you. You know what I looked up. Me G7TRV. You got some old skool stuff then. Valves. I had a sweet tin full one, came out a knackered old osilloscope from Abingdon College 1990. year after school. Then did radio course 1993-4, there in you know what. you got what you need!. Tried to keep in front. Car park time was ticking. 4 hours car park just before 10am. I know the one, some coils on, old skool. A nice place. Actual BBC stuff and a massive MW transmitter from up the road, did radio one until 1984. Those radios you had, Always some at a stall at the clubs radio rally, fair we had, Not for some years, got dear to but on. I helped with some getting in night before and there all day waiting to help get the flooring up, table and chairs put away. Got a few amateur radio things in the playlist on here, Both radios show now gone. that Quansheng everyone likes, reflash the firmware to something, make it do things a bit different. A nice Yaesu fusion thing (never got on with really) to chinas finest cheepo. This video had a massive system , algorithm push over night. Last of this type of thing. Needs to be quick visually pleasing seaside, nice village, harbour type things on holiday next year. Had enough of it all now.
@@DanielGlover Thanks for the reply Daniel. I don't know why Bushcraft uses G4GHB, must have some reason. I've had to put FT817ND Cheap c.w. Filter to get on Y.T. Perhaps G4GHB QRP might work. I've about 200 valves out of radio, t.v., and some 807's, QQVO3-10's and others. I made a 61BT valve xtal c.w. tx which came out of a non-working 'scope, about 2 Watts out. I have some older tatty valve stuff, 19 Set very modified and the EF50 is now xtal osc. on 3.560/5.262/7.030 MHz,, TW TopBander, plus FT817, h/b ssb and cw qrp radio using the G4CLF p.c.b., Racal RA17L needs attention. A number of domestic valve radio's and a nice transistor TransOceanic 7000. Five Pye Bantams I got cheap recently, on offer at £10 o.n.o., I offered £5 and got the lot. One is on 70.260 MHz and one tx only on 144.450 MHz. I've always thought I'd like to go to the radio museum in Lerwick. 73, G4GHB.
@@bill-2018 Quick google, see what it was like. Kirkwall in Orkney got one as well, Not as far. Shetlands been on homes under the hammer. Interesting place to live, not get off that often I bet. I would be bothered if someone do something with callsign, not you then. £5 for some radios, not bad. Always things like that at radio rally. I like the old war time 40's ones, Always thought would like one in dinning room on side unit sort of thing if had house with that, Not, just a 2 bedroom flat and open up dining table. No room. Nice looking things the old skool ones. My valves, old tin sweet tin full went 2003 or so, clearing out old shed, They went. Bet could have sold as a lot on ebay even then, had ebay account then. Just went to the tip. or Recycling center as now known. Just got back from a walk before weather goes. Trying to rain. Get up high as near end of QRZ profile. Just boring wander around local streets until it got worse then went home, Take radio up to higher bits, boring walk as not sure how long I had, no radio, handheld taken today. All I got. One china's finest and an SDR dongle for Rx on computer, used that for airband, cut into YT videos some times.
@@DanielGlover Now you mention it, you're right it's in Orkney, I spotted it while I was still with my ex. Shetland was the Simmer Dim m/cycle rally. Nice quiet places to live and somewhere with a bit of land to put aerials on would be great. I have looked at Fort William but I could only get a one bed flat so it looks like I'm staying here, at least I squashed my 60m inverted vee into a 25' x 12' garden and m/bike in my shed and 20m to 10m dipoles in the attic. I buy the cheap tatty radios other people walk past, TW TopBander £5, no name on it so the seller hadn't a clue neither did I. Modulation transformer not wired in and one valve base looked like it had H.T. on it and zapped a pin. 19 Set needed a lot of work, £125 but my wallet had only £105 in it after buying coffee and bacon so I got it for that. I kept a record and photo's of the work and got it published in P.W. and got paid £140 so that was a good deal. I got the 817 to go portable because I had severe internet broadband QRM here. Still got to get out however the QRM cleared up early this year after it went to fibre. Even that was £45 off, I guess they didn't want be stuck with them when the 818 came out. Why 6 Watts? I'd be tempted to turn it down to 5 and save battery power. Nobody would notice 1 Watt less. The c.w. filters were being phased out and expensive so I tried a single 455 kHz xtal I bought 40+ years ago. It worked reasonably well so I soldered it in place. Yes, those Chinese radios look interesting.
@@DanielGlover Yes, I'd heard there was one in Shetland but the Orkney one sounds better. I did contact GB2OWM, Orkney Wireless Museum one day on 40m in 2002. G4GHB.
Was nice. Bit of a gamble if you find it open I think. Not every day I think. We got lucky. Watchet is nice. Near Minehead so Butlins holiday camp lot can do. We where at a little caravan park just 2 miles away if that. Very close.
You tried I guess. Web site does suggest 3 different things. Might be just down toa Saturday now. We did on Thursday but I think the big man group was expected, lights where off went Caroline and I went in. Man group not far behind then Neil came down and turned the lights on, hidden where I did not see. I looked, Thought we had to do ourselves. You local, write, something on web site I bet. let him know you are coming
8:25 These were the *BIGGEST PILES OF SHIT EVER MADE!* The cassettes had *cardboard* shells initially and only went to plastic later, but the reels were concentric(one above the other) and the recorders *MANGLED* the tape. You'd be lucky if one out of 5 cassettes didn't end up with crumpled, or even broken tape. This N1500 machine was the worst offender! Philips made *UTTER RUBBISH!*
People said Sony Betamax was better quality, VHS not so good but what won, the worse one. I remember video rental shops in early days did both. I thought it must be like a 8 Track audio cart. one above the other, worked for the radio station jingles, See one on the desks there in the place. Those worked or would not have lasted or 8 track. So the video of that sort here was no good. Black and white I guess. Cheaper, easier to do. Prison spend some money. Owner telling Caroline about it. I missed that, was a bit behind filming.
@@DanielGlover The 8-track carts had only one reel, the tape would peel off from the hub, wind past the head and pinch-roller, then onto the outside of the reel. The same method was applied to the audio carts used in radio stations. For the stations, the point of splice marked the beginning and end of the tape(they were generally about 60 seconds duration, long enough to hold one 1-minute spot or two 30-second spots with either one for mono or two for stereo audio tracks and a separate track for a cuing pulse(the pulse would tell the player to stop at the end of the first spot if two were on the cart. If only one item was on the cart, if less than a minute, the tape would wind on until it detected the pulse(usually just after the splice) then stop, the cart pulled out and stored on a rack. That's the cart system. For 8-tracks, a metal foil would trigger a solenoid to operate a switch to automatically switch to the next "programme" on the tape, then back to Programme 1 if not first withdrawn from the player. As to VCRs, the VHS was just as good as the beta but got "bad press" from industry pundits.
@@neilforbes416 I did a radio station, Things moved on, was 1997-8. When at Salisbury college doing Sound Engineering. Minidisc for a cart machine. Nice to que up. Straight there, it did its self. Things on a disk. See things on YT on them. Matt, Techmoan. Like you say, little foil as a marker.
@@neilforbes416 Know someone that had Betamax, only 1 person. Grundid, phillips. V2000. Did a holiday place with 2 other families, schoolkids we here then. Derbyshire somewhere, Remember doing Alton Towers. That had a V2000, Grundig. thing so. 1989. Popular system that :) , why he had, owner of rental we where in.
@@DanielGlover V2000 was reported on in Video Australia(originally called Video-Mag), a sister publication to Electronics Australia. But the format never got off the ground here in Australia.

I've had to put FT817ND Cheap c.w. Filter to get on Y.T. Perhaps G4GHB QRP might work.
I've about 200 valves out of radio, t.v., and some 807's, QQVO3-10's and others. I made a 61BT valve xtal c.w. tx which came out of a non-working 'scope, about 2 Watts out.
I have some older tatty valve stuff, 19 Set very modified and the EF50 is now xtal osc. on 3.560/5.262/7.030 MHz,, TW TopBander, plus FT817, h/b ssb and cw qrp radio using the G4CLF p.c.b., Racal RA17L needs attention. A number of domestic valve radio's and a nice transistor TransOceanic 7000.
Five Pye Bantams I got cheap recently, on offer at £10 o.n.o., I offered £5 and got the lot. One is on 70.260 MHz and one tx only on 144.450 MHz.
I've always thought I'd like to go to the radio museum in Lerwick.
73, G4GHB.
@@bill-2018 Quick google, see what it was like. Kirkwall in Orkney got one as well, Not as far. Shetlands been on homes under the hammer. Interesting place to live, not get off that often I bet. I would be bothered if someone do something with callsign, not you then. £5 for some radios, not bad. Always things like that at radio rally. I like the old war time 40's ones, Always thought would like one in dinning room on side unit sort of thing if had house with that, Not, just a 2 bedroom flat and open up dining table. No room. Nice looking things the old skool ones. My valves, old tin sweet tin full went 2003 or so, clearing out old shed, They went. Bet could have sold as a lot on ebay even then, had ebay account then. Just went to the tip. or Recycling center as now known. Just got back from a walk before weather goes. Trying to rain. Get up high as near end of QRZ profile. Just boring wander around local streets until it got worse then went home, Take radio up to higher bits, boring walk as not sure how long I had, no radio, handheld taken today. All I got. One china's finest and an SDR dongle for Rx on computer, used that for airband, cut into YT videos some times.
@@DanielGlover Now you mention it, you're right it's in Orkney, I spotted it while I was still with my ex. Shetland was the Simmer Dim m/cycle rally. Nice quiet places to live and somewhere with a bit of land to put aerials on would be great. I have looked at Fort William but I could only get a one bed flat so it looks like I'm staying here, at least I squashed my 60m inverted vee into a 25' x 12' garden and m/bike in my shed and 20m to 10m dipoles in the attic.
I buy the cheap tatty radios other people walk past, TW TopBander £5, no name on it so the seller hadn't a clue neither did I. Modulation transformer not wired in and one valve base looked like it had H.T. on it and zapped a pin.
19 Set needed a lot of work, £125 but my wallet had only £105 in it after buying coffee and bacon so I got it for that. I kept a record and photo's of the work and got it published in P.W. and got paid £140 so that was a good deal.
I got the 817 to go portable because I had severe internet broadband QRM here. Still got to get out however the QRM cleared up early this year after it went to fibre. Even that was £45 off, I guess they didn't want be stuck with them when the 818 came out. Why 6 Watts? I'd be tempted to turn it down to 5 and save battery power. Nobody would notice 1 Watt less. The c.w. filters were being phased out and expensive so I tried a single 455 kHz xtal I bought 40+ years ago. It worked reasonably well so I soldered it in place.
Yes, those Chinese radios look interesting.
@@DanielGlover Yes, I'd heard there was one in Shetland but the Orkney one sounds better.
I did contact GB2OWM, Orkney Wireless Museum one day on 40m in 2002.
G4GHB.
Looks like a great place to visit if you are in the area
Was nice. Bit of a gamble if you find it open I think. Not every day I think. We got lucky. Watchet is nice. Near Minehead so Butlins holiday camp lot can do. We where at a little caravan park just 2 miles away if that. Very close.
It's ironic that it's in Watchet!
and people have. You quick on that. Or what's inside. Watch it. The Telly
The place is never open.
You tried I guess. Web site does suggest 3 different things. Might be just down toa Saturday now. We did on Thursday but I think the big man group was expected, lights where off went Caroline and I went in. Man group not far behind then Neil came down and turned the lights on, hidden where I did not see. I looked, Thought we had to do ourselves. You local, write, something on web site I bet. let him know you are coming
8:25 These were the *BIGGEST PILES OF SHIT EVER MADE!* The cassettes had *cardboard* shells initially and only went to plastic later, but the reels were concentric(one above the other) and the recorders *MANGLED* the tape. You'd be lucky if one out of 5 cassettes didn't end up with crumpled, or even broken tape. This N1500 machine was the worst offender! Philips made *UTTER RUBBISH!*
People said Sony Betamax was better quality, VHS not so good but what won, the worse one. I remember video rental shops in early days did both. I thought it must be like a 8 Track audio cart. one above the other, worked for the radio station jingles, See one on the desks there in the place. Those worked or would not have lasted or 8 track. So the video of that sort here was no good. Black and white I guess. Cheaper, easier to do. Prison spend some money. Owner telling Caroline about it. I missed that, was a bit behind filming.
@@DanielGlover The 8-track carts had only one reel, the tape would peel off from the hub, wind past the head and pinch-roller, then onto the outside of the reel. The same method was applied to the audio carts used in radio stations. For the stations, the point of splice marked the beginning and end of the tape(they were generally about 60 seconds duration, long enough to hold one 1-minute spot or two 30-second spots with either one for mono or two for stereo audio tracks and a separate track for a cuing pulse(the pulse would tell the player to stop at the end of the first spot if two were on the cart. If only one item was on the cart, if less than a minute, the tape would wind on until it detected the pulse(usually just after the splice) then stop, the cart pulled out and stored on a rack. That's the cart system. For 8-tracks, a metal foil would trigger a solenoid to operate a switch to automatically switch to the next "programme" on the tape, then back to Programme 1 if not first withdrawn from the player. As to VCRs, the VHS was just as good as the beta but got "bad press" from industry pundits.
@@neilforbes416 I did a radio station, Things moved on, was 1997-8. When at Salisbury college doing Sound Engineering. Minidisc for a cart machine. Nice to que up. Straight there, it did its self. Things on a disk. See things on YT on them. Matt, Techmoan. Like you say, little foil as a marker.
@@neilforbes416 Know someone that had Betamax, only 1 person. Grundid, phillips. V2000. Did a holiday place with 2 other families, schoolkids we here then. Derbyshire somewhere, Remember doing Alton Towers. That had a V2000, Grundig. thing so. 1989. Popular system that :) , why he had, owner of rental we where in.
@@DanielGlover V2000 was reported on in Video Australia(originally called Video-Mag), a sister publication to Electronics Australia. But the format never got off the ground here in Australia.
