Having Fun With Amateur Radio Satellites: Geoff’s YouTube Presentation
Geoff enjoyed contacting other amateur radio operators via satellites
On the Air Since 1963
In 1963, my Dad and my uncle Bob began to encourage me to “play” with electronics.
Pilgrimages to the Marconi Site
Geoff standing near a bust of Marconi when it was displayed at the site of the 1903 transatlantic wireless communication, the first from the U.S. Over many years of visits to this site, Geoff was sad to see the cliff erosion slowly claim the remains of the bases of the huge antenna array. Eventually, the bust was moved to an indoor site and the small interpretive structure shown behind Geoff was removed in 2013 as the cliff edge moved ever closer.
Messages from Ham Radio Friends
Geoff occasionally taught an elective about radio at the Waldorf school. Brandon Estrella, wrote:
A continuous memory for me, that I have thought about often is our classes lesson on Morse code and how he took the time to set up and explain the idea. Every time I see or use Morse code I think of him. And will always.
