Early, on Saturday morning, the 13th of November Ron Mcgrath, EI6GO passed away. Ron, or ‘six golden only’ as he was also known as was a founder member of Tipperary Amateur Radio Group.

He watched over many of us in Tipperary as we made our first tentative steps in Amateur Radio, patiently explained to us how to correctly conduct ourselves on air.

He was always eager to chat and interested in how you were getting on and I for one shall miss him.
