He was a very keen 11m and Ham radio operator and did his RAE the same time as me. His callsign was G1LEG and he was based in Hull in the 1980s.

A truly great bloke and everyone in E Yorks must have known him on the CB and on 2metres especially on SSB.

He moved to the USA and his callsign changed from G1LEG to W1LEG.

Hi RDS250
I know this is an old post, however, Stuart was my uncle!!
