Radio ham receives Memorial Trophy

The Bury Times reports an inspirational radio amateur was presented with a new award to honour a long-serving treasurer who died one year ago

The newspaper reports:

Sean Redmond M7DOS was the first recipient of Bury Radio Society’s memorial trophy, given for his proactive role in promoting the club during 2019.

The committee describe Mr Redmond, who has helped to develop the society’s activities and online presence, as “the best example for young people joining the hobby.”

The award has been created in memory of Peter Smith, radio callsign G2DPL, who died in early 2019 after being diagnosed with cancer.

Mr Smith became a radio amateur in 1968, working for the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) and later Norweb as a network engineer looking after high voltage power lines and transformers.
