Robert HINDMARSH Obituary

73s mate zl1ant

Bob was a long time member of the Papakura Radio Club, and at one time ran the VHF AM Net. He was known to many of our older members and was active on the radio bands with regular contacts with many on-air friends.

I met Bob as a neighbouring Ham operator. Due to our close proximity, it was not uncommon for Bob and I to experience some mutual interference. Bob had a scheduled net every week on 80 metres very close to the frequency used for the National Ladies net.

When Bob became aware of the net, he re-scheduled his catchups to allow My wife to join the other ladies on air. Bob was a true Gentleman of the airwaves, and it was a pleasure to have met him.

Condolences to the family, unfortunately found out too late to attend Bob´s farewell. Thinking of you all the Grainger family.

Our thoughts go out to everyone. Sorry we can't be there as we are out of New Zealand at the moment. Brian and Kerry Hindmarsh.

Family friend for many years, great across the road neighbor.
