Located on the windswept cliff tops above Poldhu Cove in Cornwall, on the Lizard Peninsula is home to Poldhu Amateur Radio Club, club-callsign GB2GM – named famously after Marconi who made the World’s first transatlantic radio communication between Poldhu Cove and Newfoundland. (My dad used to say after he fixed the VCR) 😉
It was an absolute honour to learn and take the Foundation Amateur Radio course back in July 2017. I passed the very first time as did one other much to the happiness of the late Keith Matthew G0WYS (SK). – a true legend who helped me and encouraged me especially at my very first radio rally at Truro. I caught him saying Lawrie is one of our latest M3’s he was so proud and so lovely, sadly missed.
