Radcom magazine arrived today

My Radcom magazine arrived today. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do over the weekend.

Rev. George Dobbs G3RJV Silent Key

Some very sad news.

We have heard that Rev. George Dobbs died early this week from pneumonia that wouldn’t respond to antibiotics. He was suffering from Dementia too.

I only met him once, shame I didn't get a recording because he was a very interesting guy to talk to. He is going to be sadly missed by all of us in the amateur radio hobby.

RIP George!
