Going through a few of my CD's that I created through the years I discovered some valuable information and photos that could be of benefit to my fellow radio amateurs. All to often I have seen that when a radio amateur becomes SK his collection of amateur radio photos, QSL Cards etc. goes to the rubbish heap as there is no interest in the "junk" he or she "collected" as a radio amateur.
I have also discovered that we say that we will remember them, but after a few years we seldom speak about those who went SK.
I decided to create this page to post information and photos of my collection of amateur memorabilia that I collected through the years. Now this is not a museum or exhibition of some sorts as many photos reflect radio amateurs still alive and kicking. All this is about remembering the "good old days" or maybe "not so old days". Surely the camaraderie and friendship can never be taken away and we will remember them.
The above picture was taken in 1998 at a meeting of the then Garden Route Radio Club ZS1GRC. It was one of the biggest, if not the biggest amateur radio club gathering in the Garden Route area. A headcount of 24 of which 8 has since become SK.
The new page will be available HERE.
If you have any photos or information that you would like to add please send it to me. Hopefully we can preserve amateur radio history and prevent so called "junk" from going to the rubbish bin.
