What happen to Southgatearc.org ham news? There’s been no update since October 8th and the last couple of days the requested URL was not found.
I wondered the same thing. Their Facebook page has this cryptic message seen below with my bold highlighting. Perhaps their old server PC failed from so called "capacitor plague"? Southgate Amateur Radio News October 8 · Foundations of Amateur Radio: Forgive my briefness. You'll discover why this space was left intentionally blank next week. It involves a broken capacitor, of sorts #hamradio #hamr #amateurradio
RSGB reports as follows: The RSGB is sad to learn of the passing of Richard Brunton, G4TUT. For countless years, Richard was editor of the popular Southgate Amateur Radio News website. Every single day, he searched the world’s amateur radio and technology resources for stories of interest and published them. Richard offered his platform inclusively, commissioning non-commercial podcasts and blogs to promote opinion alongside the conventional news items. He also compiled the CQ Serenade weekly programme which was broadcast throughout Europe on shortwaveradio.de and other public-facing media. Richard was an intensely private man who had no close family, but he reached thousands of friends daily through his website. Amateur radio has lost a true communicator.
