Radio Stuff

Radio is something that I have been into for most of my fifty plus years. From building a 'crystal set' type radio with my dad at the tender age of about six or seven, to obtaining my full Amateur Radio operator (Ham) licence in 2023, it has been an important part of my life.

It is a thing that has never been in the backgound for me. As a kid it was simply the joy of listening to wonderful presenters on Radio Clyde such as Bill Smith and Tiger Tim Stevens. Also on Clyde were Bill Black, Frank Skerrit, Mike Riddoch and the well known sports comentator Dougie Donnelly

As a teenager into adulthood it was the shortwave bands that I was listening to. The international services such as Radio Sweden, Radio Moscow and Radio Berlin International. Even today I still listen to the legend that is the BBC World Service.
