It is with sadness that I have to report
the death yesterday in hospital of 'Bill' Biltcliffe G6NB.
He and his family lived in this general
area most of their lives and during that time he made a substantial
contibution to the amateur radio community. He served on the
RSGB Council, was a GB2RS newsreader and for many years was chairman of
both the Aylesbury Vale Repeater Group and the Aylesbury Vale Radio
Society, whose members later granted him honorary membership. Even
recently, despite failing health, he often came on to give points away
in RSGB contests. He and his late wife Pat lived with their family, for
most of the earlier part of their married life, in Brill where they both
made major contributions to local life, including as a member of the
Parochial Church Council. It was, I believe, largely because of the
investment they had both made in the local community while living in
Brill that, some years later, the then members of the PCC agreed to host
GB3VA at the church.
I shall miss his cheerful personality and the sound technical advice he
was always happy to offer if asked.
