My personal is Tony and started on 11m 1979, only homebase at the time. Handle was Tangovictor for many years first on am then in 81 changed to fm.
In 1989 bought a cept radio and enjoyed many chats and chaired a network from Devils Dyke (Local High ground) then about 1999 other things took over and gave up radio.
