[UK-CONTEST] G4DEZ SK

[philhss at tpg.com.au]

Very sad news.

A number of years ago, I did a UHF contest with Bryn, Martin G4XUM, Chris G0FDZ and I think Ian 
G0AFH from Bryn's place. 

As I recall, the wx was poor - but with a bit of DX aside (even after my hoebrew 70cms amp 
refused to tune properly!!), the main aspect of the weekend that sticks in my mind was the social 
side of it.

On Saturday night, with the bands long since producing their familiar white noise, Bryn produced a 
number of the biggest steaks I've ever seen. Half a cow on a plate. Superb...... We ragchewed DX 
until the wee hours and polished off a bottle or two along the way....

RIP Bryn.
