George P. Millar GM3UM died peacefully at the age of 96 at the Glencairn Care Home on 5th June 2016. He was possibly the last surviving founder member of the Lothians Radio Society, having been its first Secretary in 1946-7 and its second President in 1947-48. A keen CW contester, he operated GM3HAM/P for the LRS in National Field Day for many years and also, using his own callsign, in other contests with the Royal Naval Amateur Radio Society. He was the LRS Auditor and RSGB Rep for many years. A former pupil of George Watson's College, George helped with the school radio club which was run by teachers Tom Simpson GM3BCD and John Hughes GM3LCP. In the 1960s they had a 150W AM station and a cubical quad antenna, with which they worked DX, including Australia and the Congo, at lunchtimes.Click for Scotsman obituary.Full report with more photos - in prep.
