Any use for vintage radio enthusiasts?

Hey, I'm hoping to gauge interest in these items and see if anyone here can identify the badges that aren't Decca/Cossor.

I am looking to sell to add growing electronic tool collection. (Decent bench power supply is my next upgrade!) Do you think it's worth my time trying to sell?

Marine Radio Question

Hi All,

I've been a Radio Amateur since 1984 ( Class B - so pondlife compared to Class A !!)

I recently became a member of a voluntary organisation that requires volunteers to undertake the Royal Yachting Association Short Range Certificate to display
competency in using marine radios in the band 159-163Mhz.

I later discovered that one can register on OfCom ( as I already am for my Amateur Licence.) and apply for a Ships Radio Marine Portable Licence that
as far as I can determine allows me to use shore based Marine Radio Transceivers
in the appropriate Marine Band. I did not have to pay for this or display any competence in applying for this.

So my question is, what advantage does the RYA Short Range Certificate confer
that the OfCom Ships Radio Portable Licence does not ?

Looking for some old Crystals

Hi,

I'm looking for some old crystals for an oscillator/mixing project I say old because I know/suspect they are probably out there somewhere! The exact frquencies are not critical. Size: small i.e HC49/U or any of the other HC.'s that are roughly the same size

What I need:

  1. Somewhere around the 6.780mhz zone

  2. Somewhere around 11.960mhz or so

  3. Somewhere around 15.040-15.060mhz . I alrady have one on 15.041 but its actually a 3rd overtone on 45.125 so 3rd overtones would work too.

Anyone got anything like this lurking in an old junk box or know of where I can obtain? I need several, ideally 3 or 4 of each, they do not even need to be the same frequency just close. As I say exact freq not critical. I'm a solderer and HB'er at heart!

I'm happy to pay a reasonable fee for these and slowboat shipping charges (I'm in the UK)

73!
