THE Owl is Ok: the Trials and Tribulations of a Radio Ham and a Dx-Er Lee Marsland

JY1, King Hussein of Jordan, 3Y0C Charles (Chuck) Brady Astronaut, G2DQU, Lord Brian Rix, Actor. G0DBE, Lee Marsland. What do these people have in common? They are all radio amateurs and, apart from the last name, they are all famous. Unfortunately, the first three are now deceased. My only claim to fame is that through the medium of radio I have had the pleasure of talking to all of these people. No airs and no graces, just like-minded people holding a conversation about anything. Royalty, Astronauts, Actors, just chatting away. Its amazing, because you never know who you will talk to next. I bet that apart from me none of the above has installed a plastic owl on their tower!
