Summer - NOT amateur radio
Ian Vance G3WMS
Back in the late 1960s I was at university with Ian. Under him, the Liverpool university radio club G3OUL thrived. He ended up with a 2:2 degree, but went on to head Nortel and get an MBE. He was a natural RF engineer and brilliant. I think he died a few years ago. It was a privilege to know him.
He was a mad keen radio amateur.
Finningley rally is on!!
For ages now we have had news of rallies being cancelled or postponed so it is great to report on a rally actually happening! This is this Sunday July 25th and is outside only. Doors open at 10am. Take and wear masks to keep yourself and others safe when with crowds. This is near J2 of the M18. Contact organisers before setting out. The website is www.g0ghk.com/cbr21.

Periodically, I like to remind people of my G3XBM video channel that includes more details about quite a few projects.
