Must be at 20WPM I'd guess. Yes, G3XGC - Dr. GA Cottrell in Oxford, licensed 6 Jan 1967. He's been in the hobby for the long haul - great that he's still active and such a proficient operator 53 years later.

Re: Morse audible over Radio 4 LW last night
I wonder if the gent in question got his PhD from Cambridge? And if so, was it in Radio-Astronomy?

Yes, he got his PhD at Cambridge and worked at Culham. He has written a couple of books too.

Paragraphs on his cricket scores, no mention of what his degrees were in.
