Silent Key
As part of our extended family in the Amateur Radio Community it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Master Corporal Nevin Peter.
Nevin was part of the 31st Signal Regiment and attended LARC Field Day several times and was known to many in the club.
We express our sympathy to his family and friends.
His death notice can be viewed here.
