Big VHF/UHF signal

When I first came to Cambridge in the early 1970s G8BBB (later G4BEL) was a massive signal from about 10km away. 

He had an excellent takeoff to the south and was very well known. He was the first station I ever copied on 23cm using my tiny indoor 4el yagi smaller than my hand!!

We miss you Roger.

G8BBB/G4BEL SK

Today I heard that Roger Taylor had passed away. He was very much into VHF/UHF and microwaves and had an excellent location at Haddenham near Cambridge, UK. Many will miss him.
