NATIONAL WINDMILLS ON THE AIR WEEKEND 8th & 9th. MAY 2010.
The Havering & District Amateur Radio Club in conjunction with The Friends of Upminster Windmill operated an amateur radio station at the mill to participate in the above event as usual this year.
Unfortunately the weather this year was rather unkind to us, but we persevered braving the elements to erect the various antennas and tent. The QSO’s (Radio Contacts) were also down slightly too , the figures are listed below.
High Frequency Contacts ……….48 including 16 Mills.
Very High Frequency Contacts…55 including 6 Mills.
Total number of Contacts………103 including 22 Mills.
The Contacts were all UK and European.
On behalf of the Havering Radio Club I would like to thank all the Friends of Upminster Windmill for their very kind help and assistance, in particular John Winn. Many thanks to you all. We hope top see you all again next year.
Sincerely Yours.
Jim McGowan MØMAC

Dennis Rookard - G1NGO 1942-2010 |
Posted on:
15th March 2010 |
|
 |
It is with sadness and regret that we announce the passing of author and broadcaster, Dennis Rookard (G1NGO) on Tuesday March 2nd (time unknown) at his home in Brentwood.
Dennis will be remembered for his larger than life and off-the-wall attitude to life, his keen sense of humour and sense of self aggrandisement. |
Dennis was an only child. His interest in radio started early in life. He later became a radio presenter for FBS (Forces Broadcasting Service), BBC, LBC and more recently the local radio station, Phoenix FM in Brentwood. His main interest was in the audio side of broadcasting. Dennis produced many radio dramas which were available to download from his HOSIPROG website. He was involved in hospital radio at Basildon and Harold Wood back in the early 80s and later became the Secretary and anchorman at the Essex charity, Eastward Hospital Television. His main love was Folk Music to which he presented the BBC Essex programme called “Essex Folk” in the 90s.
Dennis could also be seen walking across the sets of “The Bill”, “Eastenders”, “Lovejoy” and other popular TV programmes. His interviewing techniques were legendary and his keen interest in photography won him several awards.
Dennis also held an amateur radio callsign G1NGO and could often be heard on the weekly club radio net on 2 metres. Dennis was also a keen member of the Havering & District Amateur Radio Club.
|
 |
Dennis had many friends and acquaintances across many spheres of life. He will be sadly missed. He leaves a legacy behind that will be hard to follow. May he rest in peace.
