With a heavy heart - G3CWV - SK
Hi Folks,
It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that I have just learnt of the passing of our dear friend Clive Wallis, G3CWV on 27th March 2015.
Clive has been a very staunch supporter of AMSAT from the very early days. Many will recall his intense interest and loyalty in following UOSAT-2/UO-11. He maintained a very comprehensive web site with details of the spacecraft's activities. He wrote many articles for Oscar News about his activities. He attended many AMSAT-UK Colloquia.
He was awarded the Louis Varney cup for 2015 by the RSGB, and although he knew of the award before his passing, the formal presentation is not until 25 April.
His funeral is to be held on Tue 22 April 2015 at 3.00pm at Christchurch, Bedford Road, Hitchin, Herts, UK. I am sure that his family would appreciate the presence of any AMSAT members who are able to be there.
We send our condolences to his widow, Janet.
RIP, Clive.

Hi Jim,
He is going to be missed as I learnt a lot from Clive decoding telemetry on UO-11 and am saddened by the news of his passing.
I will always remember his great sense of humour on an evening out during the Colloquium and his interests in the workings of the satellites!
Thanks,
Chris - M0DQO

Hi
Clive was always a great supporter of AMSAT in many ways. I was always greatful to him for his contributions to Oscar News while I was editor and his ongoing input when I handed over the reigns.
