Ragchew

Long before the age of the Internet, the club had a newsletter called “RAGCHEW”. In 2012, the late Brian Millard (M6BRI) resurrected this publication. He edited and published it until his untimely death in early 2016 when control passed to G4CIB.

Issues are available as pdf files for you to download.

Brian also documents both their preparations for the visit and their experiences of the actual visit, from both a radio and a non-radio perspective.
