That's the packet system I used Neil. It took about an hour to get a few words to Glasgow going via the IOM and Carlisle then Dumfries and Kilmarnock. All exciting stuff back then.
I have a multi system box somewhere which does Packet, RTTY and other.
I used it on HF to see the shipping forecasts and map changes at 15 past midnight and every four hours.
When I moved down here I sold the HF gear and antennas but still have 2 and 70 in a mobile and hand held. I keep meaning to get active again.
In the meanwhile the CB I bought recently has been packed away and I wasted money.
