Crazy 1970's Memory

[Kinsrudg]

This is my first post so why not start with something totally crazy.

I'm pretty sure that I am not delusional but we shall see. I was born and raised in Hobart. I can distinctly remember hearing strange things when I used to mess around with walkie talkies. This was between the late 60's up to 1972. Now, forty years does play tricks on one's mind but this was during the space race and I really want to say I was hearing Russian cosmonauts. I just know it was foreign language. Someone please tell me that they remember something similar.Or recommend some proper medicine

Great forum, I enjoy spending my time in here.

Any pockets of immigrant children in/around Hobart who might also have enjoyed walkies playing their version of buck rogers?
Field bosses overseeing work crews?
Visiting trainees out and about from Altus AF or Ft. Sill?

Well as a licensed Ham, you would not hear the soviet space stuff on a hand held W A L K I E talkie (sorry it keeps changing the first word to talkie) the cheap hand held used 27mhz (citizens band) while the soviet's used VHS hi band (147-174 Mhz FM)

Talk about reviving an old post. Kevin was the last poster. He is missed. (Kevin passed in 2017) RIP Kevin Pate.

As I was reading posts the other night, I was struck with how many of the "Old guys" have gone silent. The toll of that bell waits for no man. . .

Including me.

I am reminded of Christopher Crook who was a notable poster on a couple of the OK groups on Facebook before he passed.
