My story

Hi, I am Si. I was (and still am!) amazed with the “magic” of radio!

At the age of six in the early 80’s a family member in Newbury in Berkshire had a CB radio that looked like a telephone handset installed in an old Hillman with a big magmount aerial on top. I was shown how to work it and was immediately hooked ! How did it work? what is radio? - how could I sit in a car and speak to loads of people and sometimes people in different countries? Wow! No one could really explain it and that is the magic of radio to me. I made tons of friends from the radio - some I am still in touch with now and a couple of girlfriends. Back then in the early 80’s there was no facebook, no internet, no mobile phones. CB radio was the social media ! There was an area in Newbury where all the CBers used to meet “Park Way”. I remember in our road every three or four houses had a big CB aerial installed. I was never really into the technical side of it - I was more into the social side of it - talking and making friends and the sport of radio. The sport of radio ie how can I make my transmit signal go further, how can I have better audio, how can I hear people better. I was addicted.

That led me on to do the Radio Amateurs course when I was a teenager, passed with a class A license and could use all bands upto 400watts power output and the rest is history so to speak.
