From Alan Paxton G4BIZ back after a successful twelve-month treatment for cancer.
Our latest directory had listed him as Silent Key. Very discouraging !!
"Dear Bill
Thanks for all the gen, I have been very ill with Cancer for about a year then Chemo and now better and clear,
trouble is that the latest list of ROAR members list me as a Silent Key, believe me I feel great as a dead man..HI
Please pass it on
