4m

It is very many years since I was on the 4m (70MHz) amateur band. When I was first on in the late 1960s most operation was in the British Isles. 

These days many more countries have permanent or temporary access to the band. There are far more European countries with access nowadays. 

At one time there was a push to get CEPT to grant access to the band in all CEPT countries I think. 

The photo shows my transverter that has never been used at this QTH. I am not sure where it is even!

At some point I would like to get on 4m again. With a few watts and a halo antenna much of Europe should be workable in Es openings.
