The 4GR section is under construction.  It is currently moving from thinking about it, to reality.  This section is about the history of 4GR.

Some items in the other 4GR sections have been given to me over the years and now recently many new items have been made available, as well as a collection being made available in the new year.  All this has made it possible to try and put the history of 4GR up on the website.

I am not a fast worker, too many radio projects that distract me, however, keep checking back and watch it grow.

If you have photos you can scan, or items you can photograph, stories to tell, please send them.  The site isn't about me, its about telling the stories.

The 4GR section will have its own header.  A friend will be designing it as soon as I supply him with the images.
