Captain Fatty with YL Carolyn and Yacht Wild Card on Sony Channel interviewed by Derek
O'brian (Bournvita Quiz Contest)
We were fortunate to see Captain Fatty and his sailboat
on the Sony channel !......
On April 15 midnight, 2003, my YL Nandita suddenly overheard 'Captain Fatty' on our TV and
immediately she drew my attention. We were lucky to watch Captain Fatty Goodlander (Tim)
& Carolyn on the 'Sony channel' interviewed by Derek O'brian from Bournvita Quiz (this
was recorded earlier when they were at Kochi) immediately I recorded his voice. (The audio clip is available here
to download-Right click and choose 'Save Target As' to save and replay). This is the
first time that my YL could hear the real voice of Cap'n Fatty Goodlander!..Because when I
contact him from my house, even I can barely retrieve the audio amidst the high noise due
to my poor antenna and my equipment lacks the DSP noise reduction unit (probably!)! As if
I am talking to an imaginary voice! But from VU2NCT club the contacts are good. It was a
very thrilling experience for me to see him on the TV.

This
web page on Fatty Goodlander is created as a memento of the 'ham radio help episode' that
took place at Kochi, Kerala and as a memento of our friendship that has developed all
because of a 'faulty rig'! Thanks to Carolyn Goodlander for keep me sending the images
captured by her. |
