Giles Read, G1MFG (SK)

The RSGB has announced the sad news that Giles Read, G1MFG, who was the RadCom Technical Editor, became a Silent Key on Friday.

Only a few days beforehand he had been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. Sadly he has now lost that fight.

The Society’s thoughts are with his partner, Heather, and with his family and friends.

World's Oldest Radio Amateur

A Barbados ham is among the world's oldest, if not the oldest. Winston A. "Woody" Richardson, 8P6CC (ex-VP6WR), has turned 107 years old, placing him among the world's oldest radio amateurs

Jim Neiger, N6TJ, told The Daily DX that Richardson hosted his 1980 - 82 operations (as 8P6J) from his home during the CQ World Wide DX Contest (CW). The Woody Richardson Communications Room at the Amateur Radio Society of Barbados is named for him. Richardson visited the Amateur Radio of Barbados headquarters in 2020.
