It is with great sadness I must report the passing of Bob Paton VK0BP VK2ABP
He passed away suddenly at his home in Bathurst during the week.
Bob is well known throughout the world for his radio ops from Davis station for over a year in Antarctica in 2009 with many thousands of HF contacts, and 6 metre band received signals.(!!)
He also worked a lot of 23cm EME, HF QRP PSK, CW, and a lot of contests from portable locations. He was my best mate and will be missed by so many people in radio and work circles.
His funeral arrangements have been finalised (which are a bit different to what was on this mornings WIA broadcast) as such :
11 am Saturday the 20th (this coming sat) at the Salvation Army Citadel. 229 Stewart st , Bathurst NSW
followed by a wake at his home; 7 Hassall Grove Kelso
Bob was 36
73 de Dave vk2jds
