"In the 1930's Wilfred went to collage to become a Marine Radio Operator. His radio skills were to be a very significant part of his life. He was a Radio Operator on a number ships during the 30's. He was employed by the GPO as a Radio Operator at North Foreland Coast Station for Marine Communications during the early part of the Second World War and, for a time, he was seconded to Bletchly Park. Later he was put in charge of the Brora Scotland 'Y' Stations. After the war his work with radios continued. In 1951 he was made Officer In Charge of Lands End Coast station at St Justs in Cornwall. He then began to take an interest in sharing his skills with others through the Amateur Radio Club. He became deeply involved with the City and Guilds Institute Examination for Radio Amateurs. He carried on his interest right to the end. He was even giving Morse lessons on the Monday before he went into hospital. He was bit slower than he once was, but still faster than his students"
I just wonder how many thousands, for it must be thousands, of people he got through the morse exam. At the time of his death Wilf was our club president.
