In my spare time I built 3 and 4 valve Radio Sets and had many orders but my problem was in obtaining Cabinets for the Chassis. Having gained a lot of knowledge in the Radio field, Ron Hipwell and I had a lot in common with Radio and as a result in our spare time we built an experimental Radio Station from Radio junk. Ron applied for a Licence and was allotted a call sigh VK 3 KU, Ultima, Victoria.

The equipment was very roughly set out but it worked. We did not have money to buy good equipment. We used to borrow the microphone from the telephone at work.
