[amsat-bb] Congratulations to Jim Adams, K0BAM

[amsat-bb] Re: John Heath G7HIA, SK
Memories of John are bittersweet... I first worked John on AO-10 in 1999 (from Texas) and met him a year later at an amsat-uk colloquium in 2000. I had worked John from Russia on FO-20 a few months before as R3/K5OE and we exchanged cards at Surrey. I looked forward to meeting up with him every year after that when I could attend the same meeting. I remember one year he was kind enough to give me a ride to Heathrow when we left the colloquium on Sunday. My sincerest sympathies to his family, and like Dave said earlier, I was privileged to have known John and called him a friend. He will be missed. Jerry, K5OE ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: John Heath G7HIA, SK
Dear Jim and AMSAT-UK, This is terribly sad news. John was a great guy and I am so sorry to hear he is now SK. RIP my friend G7HIA. Tony AA2TX VP Engineering AMSAT-NA --- On 2/16/2013 2:05 PM, Jim List wrote: AMSAT-UK is very saddened by the passing of John Heath, G7HIA. He was a long standing member of AMSAT-UK, and contributed to the amateur space programme in many ways during his lifetime. John was a regular attendee at the annual AMSAT-UK Colloquia for many years and he enjoyed meeting up with his friends who shared his passion for satellites and space. Sadly his ill heath in recent years prevented his attendance. In the days before his passing, John was in contact with AMSAT-UK; and made a significant financial contribution to the FUNcube project. He chose to do this by making the donation via the Radio Communication Foundation, which, as a registered charity will be able to claim any income tax paid by John as Gift Aid. The size of his donation is very considerable, and will be used at the discretion of the AMSAT-UK committee. Such is the extent of his generosity, that it may be feasible to consider the construction of a further complete CubeSat. AMSAT-UK is very grateful for this donation. John will be sadly missed by all members of AMSAT-UK who knew him during his life, and we send our condolences to his family.
