As a keen Amateur radio enthusiast in the late 50′s and early sixties, I met many people like Jack in various Radio Clubs who inpsired me and many others in the art of Radio communications. Only many years later did I really find out where they “really” learn’t the art of radio communication and related skills like direction finding etc
Theirs was truly the golden age of radio and electronics – never to be repeated.
The young people today sadly will never really expereience the thrill of real Radio and technology as it was then.
Jack is so right – without him and many others like him ** – the war would have gone on longer – and might even have been lost.

Jack – I for one salute you… Your generation were an inspiration to us all.
Thanks

Wow, well done Jack, but why no pay?
I too live in a wooden house in Brisbane but it is unfortunately painted. Will your Radio go to a Museum? I hope so, perhaps local.

The “Fifth Column”, I am not saying anything else but a jumbo sized ? mark here. A very strange story. I am also an “oldie”.
