Previous Episode: Recollections of GWM Radio army surplus shop - part one.
Many years ago, I was a marine radio engineer working on the boats. Do you remember listening to coastguard stations and ships on the Trawler Band? Niton Radio, Humber Radio, Dover coastguard... In this episode, I recall some of my visits to various boats to sort out their radio gear, some of which ended up in the sea! I also recall the many hours I spent listening (and talking) on 2182kHz on the trawler band. Please subscribe to keep up with the latest podcasts.
