I was writing a web page about “Famous Radio Amateurs and their callsigns” for the Highfields Amateur Radio Club when I received, via e-mail, a collection of text documents sent by my local repeater keeper, GW8ERA. I had a quick look and thought that it might be interesting to add this record of times gone. As they were received in a plain text format I thought it would be better if they were presented in a more favourable way in this technological age, so I have spent some time converting the plain text files into this PDF book. I also have tried to add a little about the man himself, but I have been unable to find out much about Jack. What I have found is in the “About the Author” at the back of this book. I have not edited the entries so, while some of the calls may still be vaild, do not use the data here for contact purposes. I hope this document goes some way to Dreyk’s wishes in the last line of his foreword. If anyone can send me more information about Jack Hum, G5UM, for inclusion in this book, I can be contacted via email at: [email protected].

  • Open Letter of Thanks to Maritime
    Tuesday 11th August 2020 Dear Lifesavers across North Norfolk The relaxation of coronavirus restrictions and the resulting boom in ‘staycations’ has provided a welcome boost to our economy. However, I recognise it has also led to an unprecedented rise in the number of incidents your crews and teams are responding to along the North Norfolk coast this summer. After talking to other emergency services, I know carrying out rescues in masks and other PPE, adjusting and adhering to new Covid-Secure processes, and the suspension in some cases of your regular training routines (with the attendant risk of ‘skill fade’) has placed considerable extra pressures upon you all. With this in mind, it is all the more remarkable that you continue to give your time, dedication, and skills – in many cases as volunteers – to answer the call to help those in distress. And I know that all this continues to be achieved in spite of a considerable decrease in fundraising income for the RNLI and independent lifeboat stations as a result of the lockdown. The NHS, rightly, has been at the centre of press coverage in recent months as its workers – who truly deserve our thanks – battle with coronavirus. But we have heard less about the heroes who risk their lives to help others at sea, on, and around our coastline. As the MP for our most beautiful North Norfolk constituency with nearly fifty miles of the most stunning coastline, I want to thank you all and ensure you are fully appreciated. I know from local reports that hardly a day goes by without you all being called upon for urgent support, so I write to express my heartfelt thanks to all our Coastguard Rescue Teams, lifeboat crews, and lifeguards for your vital work in keeping our residents and visitors safe, and in saving lives no matter when or how the call to action comes.
