Great video Martin hope the guys are over covid soon, all the best From snowy Walker Creek
They will/are already fine! Have a good weekend, 73 de G4HKS
I remember the newsletter with the van, someone from the radio club had one. The Pickets Lock radio rallies used to be great fun, so much is remote and virtual these days. Hope the team recover from Covid soon. 73 de G7JVN.
Ahh! Someone who remembers my newsletters, All recovered I gather, but thank you for your kind wishes. 73 de G4HKS
I used to love Pickets Lock, always extremely busy with many traders, until one year I went it wasn't as near busy or big as previous years, possibly the price for stalls had gone up a lot?
I understood the whole sports complex that housed it is now gone.
Always good to see you Martin, looking younger every day, take care.
Great video, I have good memories of visiting the earlier shops close to Northfields Underground station, when I still lived in the UK.
Great Video Martin, nice to see the old radio gear takes me back
Thank you Paul! de G4HKS
Great video Martin, just love seeing things that bring back fond memories. Rocket Ron was a blast from the past.😊
Hi Steve, lots of memories indeed. I will get together a monster pile of all the old gear, plug it in and provided they don't burn the store down, do a special Rigs from the Past Special. Cheers, 73 de G4HKS
As a newbie to radio it was a pleasure to watch the nostalgia. Id be curious to fast forward thirty years and see if we are reminiscing over the echo link app and meshtastics 😂 great video 👍
Excellent company recently bought my Dx10 from you guys always a pleasant transaction and made to feel that your customer is valued. Love the videos some of the other emporiums could learn from the way you do business. Cheers 73 M7FLL.
Thank you Roger. There aren't many emporiums left these days, which from a customer point of view is a shame in my opinion. Two of the old "competition" having permanently closed their doors, dismissed their staff and left the area, yet still advertising from another shop with just a name. Beats me. Appreciate your continued support, 73 de G4HKS.
nice video !
love retro stuff !
I remember buying a VX7R from you in early 2000's! Would have ordered it on the phone and always remember speaking to Martin himself! I only just got my licence back then too! Can't believe it has been all that time as remember that radio well, was very well made as are all from yourselves.
I have been known to speak to customers over the years! Thank you for your support and hope you enjoy my ramblings. 73 de G4HKS
Great show Martin. Hope your son and Tony get better soon
Henry is fine, it's Gary our customer services manager who's got the lurgy. He'll be fine, Tony is already recovered and sunning himself on a beach somewhere! 73 de G4HKS
Get well soon Tony.
Interesting video boss ... the green clock I received last week is perfect, particularly as it alters its brightness depending on light levels in the shack and as you say now has the remote - so no climbing on chairs! 73 GM4JKZ
They are good aren't they! Thank you for your support keith! 73 de G4HKS
Great video Martin. Very interesting looking back. Radio and retail has changed dramatically eh. Keep safe.
Thankyou for your kind words and support, 73 de G4HKS
Your "Elite Second Hand List" does have a date of April '93.
Yes, noticed that after the video was made. The ol eyeballs are not what they used to be you know. 73 de G4HKS
I retired last Friday. Went to a garden centre today. Apparently it's what retired people do. I am pretty sure I bought a KDK 2m radio from you second hand not long after you started advertising. That's another brand of the past. GM4SVM
Many congrats on retirement Gordon, I hope you enjoy yourself as much as I do. Visiting garden centres? I have been known to frequent these type of stores from time to time. Gold mines at Christmas I gather.... 73 de G4HKS
Nice to see your doing so well. It must be 30 or 40 years since we worked together.
Cheers Martin, no place like ML&S !!!
I have to agree with you, at least we still have a proper radio store - and our own staff! Be surprised how many still advertising that don't.... 73 de G4HKS.
Dear Martin, many thanks for this thoroughly enjoyable set of memories, it seems like yesterday that I used to visit you at your stores when I worked at West Drayton, such happy days. Bideford is a lovely place to enjoy retirement, best 73 Dave G6EJD
Hi Dave, good to hear from you again. Where do the years go? 73 de G4HKS
The old gear is still the best. Is there any possibility of putting the faulty finds on the web?
When’s Icom coming out with a updated
IC-7300 with video out to compete with the FT-710
Love your shows.
Thank you! de G4HKS
Looking great bro, love the iPhone on the desk, did you take a pill ;-) ?
Hi Bro!!! No, that was your nephew, Henry's. Me own an iPhone???? Nooooo!
Will you be exhibiting at Newark this year?
Could you help me I am looking for a display unit or light board for my ts 2000

I didn't think there are still people out there who believes in c-vid being a real thing
Nice to see the guv earning his wages this week better give him a chair to sit on poor ol bugger lol
Chair? I had an afternoon nap dear chap! 73 de G4HKS
Oh bless well the next time im in your shop i will get you a cuppa and your slippers lol
My first 100 watt hf radio was a ft101 in 1975. My latest Hf radio is the Ftdx101mp. Alvin Norris W8UJM
