PATRON'S VISIT TO RAFARS HQ
About a dozen members were at HQ on Wednesday 10th November to greet our
Patron, Air Marshall Sir Eric Dunn RAF (Retd) G3KED. During the visit, Sir
Eric joined in a special Net on 3.705MHz. Because of interference problems
the frequency had to be changed at short notice. A full report with photos
will be published in the Spring QRV.
RADIO MAGAZINES
The RAFARS library has almost all "Radcomms" from 1969 to the present date
and many "Practical Wireless" from 1946 to 1983. To save space and clutter
these mags. and many others will be destroyed by the end of January 2005.

the Administrator will gladly help load them into a vehicle if a member is
prepared to take the job lot. Phone or e-mail Mike at RAFARS HQ.
