Re: Ex marine AM radio equipment.
Sunday evenings were definitely NOT the time to try and make a business link-call as most of the fishing fleets would phone home then. Their calls used to consist of three minutes of the skipper's YL or wife giving the family news at high-speed, interposed with an occasional, "Aye" from the skipper, who always sounded relieved when Humber (or whatever coast station was in contact) said "Nonsuch" that's your three minutes, old man". Cellphones and T'internet - they don't know they're born!
What's the second thing you do when you get home from sea? Put me bag down, of course!
(I'll get me coat!).
