It is with sadness that we announce the passing of OM Victor "Vic", OE5PV (244), who died at the age of 89. Vic was a member of HSC for 49 years and a very active and enthusiastic ham who especially cultivated quick telegraphy. To many of us he was personally known as a guest at our meetings. For his friendliness and his readiness to help he enjoyed general esteem. For our club he always was going all out, more than 60 members are indebted to him for his sponsorship. His passing is a severe loss to all of us and he will be missed on the bands and on meetings.

OM Clifford, DJØOS (1103) died at the end of April at the age of 78. For more than 23 years Cliff was member of HSC and sponsored several British members.
