I am sorry to share the very sad news that Merv G0HZP has passed away.  

As many members will know Merv was blind and would often come to the radio club meetings pre-pandemic, usually with his beloved guide dog AJ who sadly passed away in 2022.

In recent years some NARC members helped him get back on the air with discrete antenna and radios which were relatively easy to operate using speech synthesis and Merv could most regularly be heard on the GB2RS after news net on a Sunday evening when he shared details of quite a full social life.

I will publish details of his funeral as soon as I have them.
