Rev. George Dobbs G3RJV - A deep loss to our hobby community


With great sadness I regret to have to forward on the announcement of the death of the Rev. George Dobbs, G3RJV, founder of the G-QRP club. Anyone who has ever met, or had any contact with, George will know that he was a true gentleman, the guiding light of the QRP movement, and the true epitome of the spirit of Amateur Radio.

Message as received from G-QRP club chairman -

It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that the Reverend George Dobbs, G3RJV, founder of the GQRP Club passed away in the early hours of this morning.

George had been unwell for some time but he had been living quite comfortably in a care home.

Unfortunately, his condition deteriorated quite rapidly over the last few days and his life ended at 04:00 this morning.

Jo, his wife, was with him when he passed.

A full obituary will follow and all GQRP members will receive a special G3RJV memorial edition of SPRAT.

RIP George.

73, & 72, Steve, G0FUW
Chairman
GQRP Club
