Introduced to Amateur Radio by stumbling across AM QSO's on 7MHz when a young teenager. gained my licence in February 1970. Served as Radio Officer at WickRadio/GKR then manager at the same station and at ObanRadio/GNE.

In 1977 moved back to Glasgow to the Ship Radio Inspection Office so beloved of the many who took their Morse test there and in the various temporary morse-testing outposts where Morse testing was conducted from time to time! Was instrumental in introducing the concept of Morse testing at various rallies.
