It came to my attention that the date for the Saturday afternoon session this month is incorrect.
It should be the Saturday 28th February at 2.30pm, if all goes well with a viability test with Steve VK5SFA ,he will present a program via digital TV from his home.
So please disregard any previous announcements.
Hi Everyone

John was a member of the North East Radio Club and was a long serving Amateur Radio Operator.
Unfortunately he suffered with Parkinson’s and spent his final years in a nursing home at Ingle Farm. He was a keen amateur and had his radios setup at the nursing home you would hear him frequently coming up on the liked repeaters.
Thanks to Tony VK5FBIC he was able to attend one of our Saturday afternoon meetings late last year, he arrived in style in and access cab. I spoke to John and he was over the moon to catch up with old faces.
Unfortunately I have no further details about any memorial services

Hi Everyone,
It is with great sadness that I have to announce the passing of Horst today. Ruth contacted us to let us and several of the Radio Club community. I just wish to extend our heartfelt sympathies to Ruth and their family at this difficult time. For those of you who new Horst he was a quiet intelligent character that loved to encourage new members. Unfortunately his health had been failing him in recent years. The North East Radio Club was a better place with him in it. He will be missed.
Vale Horst
