David Holburn, G3XZP SK. I am saddened to report the death of one of our members. David Holburn, G3XZP, a Fellow of Gonville and Caius college, Cambridge died suddenly on Saturday 6th December. David was a keen member of our online CW training school and will be greatly missed.
Whilst the object is contact as many radio amateurs as possible in a week, it is hoped that a QSO goes beyond just an exchange of RST and becomes a CW chat for as long a duration as you wish. Enjoy. See the website https://t.co/aNS0GNU2Uf for bands and frequencies to use.
Our CW Activity Week will be during the second full week of November, i.e. Sunday 9th – 15th November. This is a friendly non-contest style event to encourage CW operators old and new. QRS operators specially made welcome. See https://t.co/aNS0GNTv4H for more info.
This years Bootcamp was a great success, with 30 CW addicts attending from across the UK and Europe.
