Silent Key
One of the very first people I ever worked, and we became friends (we were about the same age)
He lived over on Poulner Hill, near Ringwood and at that time could only transmit AM on 145.000 on a modified Pye Cambridge PMR rig…
Glen G8GTB
I met Glen when I worked at the Brock’s (Seavoice) factory in Fleet’s Lane, Poole, where a number of fellow radio amateurs worked
We became friends and subsequently he became my next-door neighbour and got me started in Z80 machine code
Chris G8MXW
Nick G4WHO ex G8MCQ
Recent Silent Key
When I first met him, he worked in the service department at the Brock’s (Seascan) factory in Fleet’s Lane, Poole
He did not become my friend because I was immature at the time and was foolishly influenced by my line manager’s dislike of him
Later in my life, I realised my own foolishness and was going to apologise to him, but then found out he was a very recent SK, and very highly regarded…
A life-lesson there for me…
Uri G5AOZ now G0BBB
One of the very first people I ever worked, and we became friends
He was German and a teacher at Winton Boys School
