The last one in central London disappeared over a decade ago. I'm not sure if there ever were others in the centre, although, when I was young, there used to be components and surplus shops (including some on Lisle Street, in Chinatown). After that, there used to be some about 8 miles out, but, at least on my side of London, they have also moved out. The nearest I can find is in Chertsey, which is at least 15 miles out, near the far side of Heathrow airport. You might be able to get VHF handies at Maplins, who have an increasing high street presence, including central London, but, for anything else, you will have to go out of London. Is this just a brief visit, as I know at least one radio club (in outer London) that I am sure would appreciate a talk on amateur radio in Hong Kong and South China. They have several Elecraft rigs amongst their members. -- David Woolley "we do not overly restrict the subject matter on the list, and we encourage postings on a wide range of amateur radio related topics" List Guidelines <http://www.elecraft.com/elecraft_list_guidelines.htm> ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
