G3OUL

Many years ago I was a student at Liverpool University. At the radio club was a very keen amateur from Nailsea, near Bristol. He got a 2:2 degree, but went on the get an MBE and was a director of a very large UK company. In his career he was very successful. In my mind he had that rare gift: an instinctive "jizz" for RF design. In my experience very very few people have this. I am not in the least surprised he did well.

I realise I have not seen him in over 40 years. He might even be dead now. What I realise is how we age. He must be over 71 now, yet in my mind he is still that mad keen amateur back in the late 1960s.
