Throughout the rest of these radio pages the G8MZY button will return you to this Ham Radio "Home" page.   G8MZY was chosen for the legend of this button, because it also represents the station or shack as well as the 'on air' call sign.

I became interested in radio at a very early age (5 or 6 years old) There several reasons for that...

Although my father was a carpenter and joiner by trade he had been interested in radio from an early age himself. He had a few books and magazines, but in 1938 he joined the RAF. Whilst in the RAF he was an airframe fitter and had little contact with radio, but still had an interest. After WWII he married my mother and times were too frugal to indulge in radio. As a child I was fascinated by his books and read them avidly.
