Morris Minor Owners Club

This post did set me thinking not so much about the possible cost but what a 21st century Minor would have to look like to meet legislation and the expectations of todays discerning driver. The recently re-released Mini holds most of the cues here I think. So, it would have to be more compact inside...

Just spotted a cheap Yaesu set up in my local paper :o .Whats a reasonable price for a set up ? and how hard is it to obtain a licence is it 2 metre or something like that i have to have ? 2 metres is classed as vhf, and line of sight contacts could be expected, VHF doesnt like buildings and hills....

As Roy said You dont need C.W. or morse as its generally known and havent had to for some time. You can access the HF bands with limited power, but of course on bands such as 40metres during the day power aint the be all and end all. I have made contact with lots of M3 stations running low power and...

M3 pyb, good man, I shall keep an ear open for the call on 40m It did occur to me a valid piece of publicity for the MMOC may be a special event callsign on some auspicious occasion or other, combining a special qsl card or cards if more than one station was operating, something for the future perha...

I asked because the magic words modified and Ital were raised,I missed the statement regarding "standard Morris". having built a car utilising Ital/rover/marina bits and parts, I had experience of an intermittent seizing clutch that I cured eventually. You would probably already have exper...

I'm not an active HAM these days - I only did the Licence exams to be able to use wireless when I was involved with Rally Rescue - and then the mobile phone was invented.... :roll: Understood, I came back to radio around a year ago after a long absence, family commitments and all the usual stuff go...

So thats in a field, in the air and pretty much everywhere else then. Treat it like a mobile mount on a car, the roof of which would normally act as a groundplane, but I imagine the g forces may be a little greater, not entirely convinced a magnetic mount would be of use so I guess you will be bolti...

where is it being mounted?
on a vehicle or building or field?

I knew I couldnt be the only one, G0AIH here.
Two of us, thats a good start, do you visit HF? I find 40 metres ok for inter G and get daytime short hop signals from GM pretty well.

Yes if it cost mega bucks I would agree,around these workin' class parts 25-30 quid gets a complete read out and tune though. The beauty of the mog engine is indeed its simplicity, the man has done much to alleviate his mpg issue,but the problem remains and can be helped rapidly with the minimum of ...

This new clutch? is it hydraulic as per rover sd1? or mechanically linked?

I dont think I am alone when I say that having spent years utilising strobes and fitting numerous new parts to various engines, sometimes it is better to get the car tuned at your local dyno garage first, possible faults are spotted very quickly or eliminated. They can also check compression and the...

Are there any other licensed amateur radio operators that own mogs on line ._. ?

As a relatively new subscriber to Minor Monthly I also wish you all the best Russ.I thoroughly enjoyed the mag.
A new publisher could be just whats needed.

Spotted a tired looking 2 door Moggie thou, reg number ASL 918 in olive green today (19-01-2012) in the forecourt of D.T. Mathewson in Thornton le dale near pickering n.yorks. They repair and deal in specialist (expensive) vintage motors predominantly, a sign in this car read "not for sale till...

My mistake, two minor hubcaps pressed together,even more reason to keep the moggie garaged up.

Santa brought me a Seasick Steve cd for xmas, on it he plays a "morris minor guitar" made from an old pick up, a few strings and bits and pieces.
But.............hang on to your chrome bits, the main body is a morris minor hub cap......aaaaaaaaaagh.
