Andy has had a long association with Cape Town Radio which began 40 years ago when he joined what was then Tristan's Post and Telecommunications Department in 1976. In the early days he worked radio schedules with rather poor voice contact which therefore relied on Morse Code for accurate messaging until the digital age introduced the use of the internet. |
