It is with deep sadness that I have to report the passing of yet another of our radio clubs amazing characters and a great friend.
Mr Bob Purves (GM4IKT) passed away this afternoon (26/6/17) at 12:20pm.
Bob will be remembered as a family man, a keen aero modeller and radio ham who quietly encouraged lots of the new blood in our club and was always on hand with a vast technical knowledge which he shared freely.
I am in touch with Margaret and will share details of the funeral as they become available.
RIP OM
Just built a prototype 6m moxon antenna. Took me about an hour. Cost me six quid for plumbers pipe, the rest was bits I had in the shack. Let you know how it performs when it's on the tower but it's rough tuned on my shed and that's close enough for government work 😀
RNR building antennas!! Watch out Tiree! 🙈😄 Looks good Brian! 😀👍
A good newsletter article for everyone to read.... bob
Thanks Brian I look forward to reading about it
