Memories of times gone by

How young was I then?

Ipstones Edge

Thanks to Dave, G6KTE, who had the foresight to record these events way back when you had to buy film and know what you were doing with a camera to take a photo.

Here are a few images of a Moorlands And District Amateur Radio Society (M.A.D.A.R.S.) field day up at Ipstones Edge, one or two of the Cheadle Fete special event stations (GB4MAD) and a single shot of my old shack used for a press article when the club moved in to it's new club house at the Creda site!
