Welcome

Mannie de Beer ZS6AK
Pam Momberg is remembering those who are no longer with us.
I was saddened to learn of the passing of Mannie de Beer ZS6AK. I remember Mannie being someone who was always willing to assist the Hams with his knowledge, expertise and in some cases even supplying them with equipment to get their stations on the air. Mannie gave Jimmy ZS6APS CW classes in the early fifties, and helped to get him on the air.
Mannie was a great asset to the hobby and our Club. When the club started in 1975, Mannie was there, and through the years was always willing to share his extensive knowledge of amateur radio with our members. He was made Honorary Life Member of our club, a great prestige, proving his worth to the club and its members.
He was an avid DXer and was very popular amongst the hams in the USA. He loved experimenting with antennas and working high power.
In later years he could no longer see to drive his car, so was not as visible, but he was always in the background, helping wherever he could.
Mannie ZS6AK was a great Ham, well known in the Ham fraternity, and he will be remembered for many years to come. Mention the name Mannie, and someone will have a story to tell about him.
R.I.P. Mannie, you are sorely missed.

Our First meeting at the Hatfield Clubhouse
Dave Gemmell ZS6AAW was wished well on his relocating to division 5.

After a hard day’s work cleaning the Hatfield Clubhouse it’s time to relax.
