Whatho Gang!

One of the many topics discussed on the 80m impromptu net held on 12^th March was that of “absent friends”.

Among the gathered company of Colin (G0UJK), Lawrie (G4FAA), Keith (G4TJE), Peter (G7ULL) and myself. Questions were raised of as to the wellbeing and location of old friends and acquaintances.

?

As a result I later received the following from Colin.

Hi Tony,

I have just come off the phone from a sprightly 83 year old RFC. He does get your e-mails still but his antenna broke and only has 40mtr vertical. He explained that he has daily phone contacts with G8CCL in Essex and that he is very active on DMR working the United States stations. He did ask after many op's from the twins, Clive and too many to mention. And did confirm about one or two having moved locations. He is aware that Mark G0GQT is into many contest's and that Keith G4TJE is back local to me. He also said that musician Pete G0NGP has moved to Littlehampton, and I told him that last I heard Ian G0PDZ was in?the Margate area.

An Important?notice to all, is that he is using the G3GHN club call sign during his on air activities. all in all we had a 20min QSO and I asked him to keep in touch, as many had asked after him.

Good news to hear Steve is well, and still about on the radio, even if it's only DMR!

Feel free to repost this regards Colin

So there you have it, just one topic from the recent net led to some tenacious enquiries by Colin that resulted in some reassuring information regarding old Clifton acquaintances………….

?

Watch out for news of future ?impromptu Clifton Country Club nets during the spring.

?

Possibly ?40m may be a better option with the longer daylight hours.

?

Catch you on the wireless! ?
