My Dad was a radio amateur and a CB'er........his handle was Doc(I think) mainly because he repaired rigs and electrical stuff.

I remember 'Doc'. I never met him, but he was well respected in the CB community.

I knew a man they called "The Doc" Margaret.
It was through the ham radio I first met him, he repaired a 2 metre transmitter for me, a good man at his job. It was well over thirty years ago.
I think I went up Nuttall street and turned left past a factory, then a sharp right up a steep hill, there were only a few houses there and he lived in one.
Would that have been your dad?

Well, he was my dad Margaret...and I know I am biased, but he was a lovely man.

Indeed it was Gremlin...and it has to be a long time ago, he died in 1992.
Ma still lives up there.

Glad my memory is still OK Margaret.
It certainly was a long time ago. I was first licenced in 1983 and got the A licence in 1986.
I think it was before I passed the A licence exam when I went to see him for the first time.
I went a few times afterwards, I wonder if you were there at the time.

Margaret Pilkington · 17-09-2012, 14:32

No, I had been married for 20 years by then.
I don't think there would be any of us children at home by then...we had all married and moved out...it would be just him and Ma.
