Martin was a very keen Radio Amateur of many years. He was instrumental in the setting up of Staffordshire RAYNET and the North Staffordshire RAYNET group (09/ST/105) and had been a member of RAYNET for 47 years. His real passion was for reading the GB2RS news, where he always had time for a natter after the news had finished.
Martin was actively involved (using his amateur radio skills) in the Mexico Earthquake Disaster in 1985. Sadly, his health did not allow much operation of late.
He will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.
