Blind Amateur Radio Operator Promotes Hobby with New Aerial and Morse Code

A radio enthusiast from a young age, Terry Robinson has constructed a 50-foot radio aerial in his garden, allowing him to communicate with other radio heads across the world.

The 69-year-old sends dots and dashes to other Morse code radio operators - amateur and professionals - on five continents from his back garden in Crosshill., Glasgow.

An active member and campaigner with the Royal National Institute for Blind Scotland, Terry helped to mark RNIB’s 150th anniversary in 2018 by creating a special call sign which attracted thousands of calls of support from across the globe.

Terry is encouraging people looking to beat isolation blues to contact him for pointers or a chat on amateur radio.
