Ian M7VDX needs some help please…
Ian is losing his sight and would like someone to come and help him setup his radios and computers – he lives in Norwich (see QRZ).
He has an FT8900, Kenwood 480SAT, Anytone 779 and uses Windows for data modes etc, but is open to the idea of buying different equipment if they might be easier for him to use with his failing sight. He already has a good array of working antennas.
If you feel you could help Ian get set up to help him with his hobby as his sight is failing please email either Ian direct: m7vdx@outlook.com
or contact David G7URP or Gordon G3PXT who can assist contact.
Thank you.
