[Radio Wrangler]

Once, just once, I got to Derwent Radio, up Columbus Ravine in Scarborough when it was open. Every holiday on the East coast I must have nagged and nagged. We went past but it was usually closed. That one time I remember goggling at a panadaptor... such an esoteric thing then. I came away with a copy of the American Ham radio magazine.

Decades later at George's G-QRP doo in Rochdale someone mentioned Scarborough, and I recounted the tale of attempts to get back to this treasure cave again. Des introduced himself! Flabbergasted is an understatement. A genuine nice guy.
