He joined the Ariel Radio Group in about 1953 and was licensed as G3KSW in 1955. On one occasion, driving to a mobile rally in Cheltenham, he tried a burst of speed on the A40 at Northolt and the aerial blew off. Fortunately he was able to recover it and continue. He was an active operator of G3BBC, the Ariel Radio Group station at Ealing, and kept it going until he retired. His funeral was well attended by BBC staff and amateurs from the North London area.
