Vaguely OT: Fred C. Judd

[Shaun Brennan]

I’m searching for information on the life and career of Fred C. Judd (1914-1992). Fred was a well known figure in the amateur radio world (callsign- G2BCX), designing many piece of apparatus, including the famous “Slim Jim” antenna, and writing numerous books on radio matters. He was also a pioneer in the electronic music field- his best known work probably being the soundtrack for the 1960’s puppet show, “Space Patrol.” If anyone reading this knew Fred, or has any memories of him, please drop me a line at-
[e-mail] (remove “no spam” to reply).

Cheers,
