[OZAPRS] RE: New wheels - dare I use anything that transmits?

[Mr Richard Sawday]

Managed to barbeque a Ford EEC-IV ECU using a smigin over max legal power
into a 5/8 mobile on 2 meters.
It let go on the Swan Reach Ferry....so we went back and forth across the
river numerous times. Very embarassing.
