G8CK x GW3COI

… William Eric (Bill) Bartholomew G8CK chews the fat with John Worthington GW3COI in c.1999 … both now ‘silent keys’ …

 

… Bill (1918-2012) served in the Royal Signals during WW2 and contributed to the design of the TRD ‘clandestine’ transceiver … John (???-2009) contributed many amusing cartoons to Short Wave Magazine … whilst the vast majority of radio amateurs drone on about their equipment or ailments, these two were clearly operating on another level entirely … perhaps aided by a tipple of some sort …

 

… probably recorded from my old TS-830s, given the stability of the received frequency …
