G5RV Logbook saved for posterity
The late Louis Varney, G5RV, was one of the founder members of the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society in 1936, so when eagle-eyed Chelmsford club member Duncan, M0KGK, spotted that G5RV's last ever logbook was being auctioned on e-bay, the club decided to buy it. Duncan did the bidding and despite fierce competition managed to secure the logbook in the last eight seconds of auction. The logbook shows that G5RV's final QSOs, on 11 January 2000, were with G0WGP and Chelmsford club President Harry Heap, G5HF, appropriately enough on page 73 of the logbook. Louis was, of course, using a G5RV antenna for the contacts! 73 de Trevor M5AKA
