4th International Pumping Stations on the Air

M0TZO — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:52:19 +0000

Well it’s that time of year again for the International Pumping Stations on the Air event or locally known as Kew.

This is the 4th year & sadly for the club the 1st without Mike G1WIA at the helm.

The event will be open on Sunday 29th and Monday 30th at 11am until 5pm. The club will be operating on HF with CW and SSB using the callsign GB0KEW.

As in previous years the museum will be open and other events will be happening around Kew, although you know you’ll only be attending for the radio, but whilst there you can learn about Kew as well.

We look forward to seeing any visitors who wish to visit us on either of the two days.

Any WARG members wishing to visit the museum have been given a reduced club rate fee of just £6.00. The full rate for non-club members is £9.00.

Christmas Message from G0PZA

My fellow Members,

It has been an eventful year at the Radio Club, with some exciting events like the Kempton Park Rallies, Kew Bridge Steam Museum Special Event Station, the purchase of our new Club Radio as well as good results from the IOTA contest and the VHF Field Day with the Middlesex DX Group, to name but a few.

We have also seen the sad departure from our Club and from this World, our “silent keys”, Brian and Mike, and our thoughts are with their families during this Christmas and New Year period.

I would like to thank each and every one of you for your hard work in making the club a pleasant place to spend our Friday evenings, after a hard week’s work.

I would like to wish all of you and your families a very happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year 2010.

Let’s make 2010 an exciting and happy year for all of us.

Best 73 to you all and Good DX !

Garo
G0PZA
Chairman, WARG.

The club has learned of the passing of Mike G1WIA 10 December.

On behalf of the club members we send our deepest sympathy and condolences to his family at this difficult time.

Only last week Mike was enthusiastic in learning about our new club radio and fortunately, a photograph was taken with Mike at the controls.

We will miss a good friend.
