Sadly, on 29th May 2006, Vic became a silent key.  I've known Vic for over thirty years and first met him when he used to work at Nicklins garage in Dibden Purlieu on a Saturday morning.  His range of interests and hobbies never failed to amaze me and I knew I was always in for a good ragchew when we hooked up on the radio, either in the car or from the home QTH.  I will always remember Vic as G8TGA although he really enjoyed all mode HF operating over the last two years using his cobweb and loop antennas.  His most recent achievement was working the International Marconi Day special event stations on 22nd April 2006 starting at 01:00 and working through to late evening.  An absolute gentleman and a friend who will be sadly missed.

Dah de Dah Vic
