Bill G4PJ

An old editor of Practical Wireless contacted me yesterday about Bill G4PJ.  Bill, a SK for many years, lived in Salcombe, Devon and was my "elmer". He taught me a lot back in the 1960s. I even heard him 4 miles away on 160m AM on a crystal set!

He had a shack overlooking the water and his earth rod went straight into the sea! As a G8, my very first QSOs were from his shack under supervision. Back in the 1960s we could only use 70cms and higher if a G8.

I have very happy memories of those early days.
