Tristan, A QSO is a contact between Radio Hams which can be anything from a quick exchange of callsigns to a full conversation.
I presume he was the first one to use transistorised equipment for transmit/receive. If you have his log books then you should be able to find the exact time of the QSO.

As I said (ages ago) my Granddad was into this kind of stuff. He passed away a couple of months ago and we have found a bit of info on him by googling his call sign (G3IYX) http://www.bnr.bg/RadioBulgaria/Emission_English/Theme_DX_Programme/Mate rial/dx265.htm Being that I know nothing about this stuff, I wondered what this meant... "undertook the first-ever transistor QSO" Cheers Tristan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Allen Posted At: 26 June 2006 12:35 Posted To: Profox Archive Conversation: [NF] Amateur Radio Enthusiasts Subject: RE: [NF] Amateur Radio Enthusiasts I thought about getting a radio, thought it was not me (I think). What did you have in mind ? Allen -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf All while back I spoke to someone very quickly about Amateur Radio stuff. Someone from the UK I think. Is there anybody out there that is keen on this? Cheers for now.
