Re: Raymart Birmingham?
I remember Ray Withers operating from the attic of a house in south Birmingham in the late-1970s; he sold both ham-radio gear and PMR stuff - I went there once and bought a whole load of high-band 5/8-wave base-loaded mobile antennas - they were a clone of the nice 'Antenna Specialists' ones that had a short fat coil about an inch diameter encapsulated in grey plastic at the base, a shock-spring and a tapered whip. Not sure where he got them from but they were a third of the price of the imported-from-the-US Antenna Specialists version and seemed to work just as well. Great for my fledgling PMR business!
Attached are some shots of a Raymart advertisement from a WWII-era RSGB handbook.
