[UK-CONTEST] Aircraft reflections -more

[Clive Whelan]

Thanks to all who replied, most helpful and interesting. I thought it 
was a G3B callsign but didn't stick my neck out. Also thought he might 
have been a reverend gentleman?

I remember the article well since not only was it technically 
interesting, but conjured up images of a British summer, messing about 
on the radio ( G4/0s yes we used to get summers back then!).

A copy of the article is winging its way to me yet via our local " 
librarian " GW4BKG to whom thanks.

OK back to contesting.

What a good place this is to hang out!
