Welcome to the ML&S comments page. Listed below are just a few comments received about our level of service. We receive dozens each week (many more by post) but these are some of the highlights via email. Archived comments can be found in the sections above.


George G2ARY & LESA M0BQD
I would like to compliment your sales staff on the excelent service with regards to the Comet (CHA-250B) I received yesterday AM, at least a day ahead of schedule. It’s already up and running!

It’s a great pity we cannot compliment other companies the same way but that's what makes you such a good company to deal with.

Finally got some good weather for a couple of days with no wind here in Stirling, Scotland to get on with building the Optibeam OBW 10-5. My initial correspondence with Thomas DF2BO at Optibeam was excellent before I decided to purchase the antenna.

From my order at Martin Lynch it took approx 6 days to arrive here.
The OBW 10-5 is a pretty straight forward antenna to build although if you come up against any problems Thomas DF2BO is only an e-mail away with an excellent service.

The longest time spent was tensioning up the antenna till you were satisfied it looked OK not so easy at ground level.

At ground level we fitted it to the stub mast and two of us lifted the whole antenna into the rotator cage this was really the hardest part for us as we were working to quite a small area with obstacles garden shed etc.

However once on the tower an initial check to see the antenna was sitting well, and a check with the antenna analyser the swr was really the same as the spec in the manual.

My first contact with 100w was with Bogdan VE3BDM, subsequently I have worked into Brunei V8, West Malaysia 9M2 all on 20m. So now I'll spend a bit more time operating to put the antenna through its paces but first impressions are really excellent.

Thanks all at Martin Lynch for a excellent service delivery etc.

Harry G3NGX, RADARS
A big thank you to you and your lads for staying open for us last night. It was good to see you again and to see the radios that we dream about. Our new M3's were thrilled to see all the kit. Now they know the way to your door.

A special word of appreciation for the young chap who took the trouble to make us coffee and tea. He remembered our orders and did it well!

I have counted 19 in all in our party, but it seemed like more.

Starting to forget how many times I have written to your company on the superb service I have again received this week regarding the purchase of the of my FT-2000.

110% commitment from the Martin Lynch team, always returning phone calls and service second to none. A big thank you to Chris for his total support and getting things right on this order.

I look forward to dealing with you well into the future and will take every opportunity in encouraging others to try the “Martin Lynch & Sons Experience”

A big thank you once again.

A big thank you to you and your staff on dispatching my order promptly. Also the MyDEL CG-3000 tuner that I purchased works very well and I am extremely impressed with it, especially the fact that it also tunes 6M as well using 60 ft of wire and a 40 ft mast.

Many thanks for the dispatch of the MD100AX Mic. May I say how well it works on my 857D and the audio reports I have had are great. I will strongly recommend this mike. Once again, well done to all concerned.

Rob - G3RCE
Many thanks for all your assistance with the IC-7700. Playing with it for several hours and numerous cups of coffee was very useful and a lot of fun. Thanks to all the boys, especially Chris.

Filip - ON6SAS
Received my IC-7700 today!
First impression - good and strong Icom box for shipping (double boxes). Very nice piece of equipment, very beautiful build. LCD screen is nice and clear. Control buttons and dial are solid and not too small. Radio is very logical to use and easy for Icom "PRO" users. First receiver tests are very positive and the use of the filters aswell. Audio by airphones is very smooth. Fan is almost not audible.

Special thanks to Martin Lynch and Son in the UK for very fast shipping and correct handling.

Tony Hawkins

Product:  John G7WFB - online conversation
John G7WFB - online conversation [12:19:03] John says: Hi Chris, yes i'm fine. Beam works well. Very pleased with it. Just thought i'd let you know

[12:24:30] ML&S Chris Taylor says: OK thats good news. We have had some very good reports on them

[12:26:13] John says: HAVE WORKED CENTRAL ASIA, CHINA, CANADA, AMERICA AND SOUTH AMERICA and U/K. IT'S LIKE BEING ON THE PHONE.

Follow up e-mail - Thought you would like to see the set-up here with the OptiBeam OBW10-5 beam. If it can survive up here with 140mph winds and I’m sure it will (so well made) then great. What I like about it is its not too narrow in use. Getting very good reports from all over world & happily recommend it to anyone.


Antoine Garnet - G/F8CKH - Cernay la Ville France
Just wanted to send you an email to tell you how much I am loving my Yaesu FT857D + Maldol whips. It's a great set up and I could work lots of stations on different bands in very good conditions including through the ISS repeater while driving! Impressive, the rig is doing a real nice job.

Once again, thanks for your efficiency and your advice.
