Now here is a story of real amateur radio spirit and no Mark ZS4OIL does not know that I am writing an article about his kindness. In today's life things are rather tough also when it comes to amateur radio. There is a song with the name of Money, Money, Money which reminds me that nothing comes for free anymore. I was however proven wrong. Some time ago I was looking for a UHF Motorola Radio to be used with a SVXLink node. I put out a request for such a radio and Mark ZS4OIL responded that he has such a radio. I was unsuccessful in all my efforts to buy the radio from him. He refused to accept anything even the costs to send the radio to me. Mark donated a UHF Motorola GM300 radio to me. I received the radio this morning. This radio will be used as a link radio for the ZS1I SVXLink Reflector that is currently connected via VHF to the ZS Link Network here in the Southern Cape.
Mark I would like to thank you for your generosity, great amateur radio spirit and for donating this radio, to be used to extend the ZS Link Network in the Southern Cape. Highly appreciated and once again a big thank you!!
I will later post images where this radio is connected to the network and operational.
