George GM3OXX - SK

It was saddening to read in the latest RadCom that George GM3OXX has died.

He was a stalwart of QRP and I have one of his QSL cards on my wall for a QRP contact on CW many years ago. This was either 80m or 40m. George made most of his equipment at home. Apparently he was also on the microwave bands.

Sadly, a lot of our old-timers are going to leave us in the coming years.

I think he died some time ago.

I thought OXX passed away a couple months ago?

Sad, yes experience passes through but hopefully he passed some knowledge on while he was here, certainly his QRP designs will live on forever!

See them all on the Sprat DVD ROM.


I see your in Radcom again Mr L, your getting around a bit these days. Maybe I should nominate you for an award?

I didn't know George GM30XX was now SK :-(
Although we never had a contact he was inspirational.
