| Rowley Shears, G8KW, SK |
The Society has learned with great sadness that Rowley Shears BEM, G8KW, passed away on Tuesday 17 November 2009. Responsible for re-introducing amateur radio into Germany after the second world war, he was perhaps best known for his KW range of amateur equipment from the 1950s to the 1970s.
