Another friend and neighbour from those days, many years back then also operated a CB. His name was Ernest Walton, he is now deceased (rip ernie) he also was a master at Morse Code. He used to communicate with people from around the world via Morse and they would make friends and trade postcards and things. So it goes to show it is down to the person and how they are with people which results in the way they are treated.

When did Ernest Walton pass away Restess?
He got his radio licence just after me in 1986 and we took our Morse Code test at Fleetwood Nautical college the year after. His call sign was G0JSQ, I think when he was on CB he was Box Car Willie.
Ernie was my best man at my wedding as well. I seemed to loose track of him when he moved to Bury with Lucy and shortly afterwards he seemed to loose interest in Ham Radio and he never came on the air.
