January 1988

A former coworker to Hans has this Argonaut for sale and Hans buys it for SEK 1600. The unit is known to have a good receiver and is quite small and can run on 12 V for mobile operation.

Hans connects a small antenna, too small, and starts to send CQ CQ. Nobody answers. The rest of the time the transceiver is used for listening only.
