Hi Shaun
All I know about Bill's early years is that he was a radio operator
during WW1, G3ORP was the source of that information.
For sending large files I use "You Send It":
The basic service allows you to send files without having to pay
them any money (although they would like you to!)

P.S. You can send the file to me using "You Send IT" as practice.

Hi,
?
If MARTS are
interested I have an mp3 file of Bill Nutton telling
some stories about his early years which was broadcast
on BBC Radio Kent (or it might even have been Radio
Medway at that time) in 1980 I believe.
?
The file is
about 28 minutes long and just over 28Mb in size.? Let
me know asap if they need it.? It is too big to attach
to e-mail and so will have to go in the post or will
have to do some sort of FTP for it.?? That will be a
challenge here with net upload speeds of around 40 ¨C
50 Kbps.
?
The club Bill
was involved in in Maidstone was the ¡°other¡± club that
didn¡¯t become MYMCA.? The information was on the club
web site.? I did quite a bit of research about it.? I
handed all the web documents over when I left the
area.? Whoever has them now should able to follow it
through.

John - G6IVP asked
me to advise everyone at MYARS of the
following:
Dear
MYARS Friends,
It occurred to me that there may be some
members, within your club, who knew William
(Bill) Nutton G6NU "Naughty Uncle" who was a
founder member of the MARTS. As well as founding
the MARTS, I believe that Bill played a part in
the formation of an amateur radio club in
Maidstone. Whether or not this became MYARS I do
not know but some members may be interested.
I would therefore like to invite anyone from
your club to the following meeting of the MARTS
on Friday 19 October 2012 at the MARTS QTH
(Tunbury Hall) open at 19:30 hrs local time.
Please note this open invitation to members and
friends old and new.
On the evening of Friday 19th October 2012 the
MARTS will be privileged to welcome Bill
Nutton's granddaughter, Ms Elaine Nutton, who
has asked to meet the Club members and has
offered to talk, informally, of her Grandfather.
As you ma! y know, from the beginnings of the
MARTS, throughout until his death 30 years ago
early in 1982, Bill was active in Amateur Radio
and served as a long time President of the
MARTS.
It seems appropriate that, in its 90th year, the
MARTS will have this opportunity for some of us
to reminisce and others to learn about G6NU's
life and to share, with Elaine, what we know of
his part in the Club's history.
