Clive Ward, G1EUC (photo source: CARS website)

Those of you who watched TX Factor Episode 9, no doubt noted the enthusiasm of Clive Ward, G1EUC of the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society.

Sadly, I’ve just learned that he passed away on September 4th, after the publication of the TX Factor episode that featured him so prominently. TX Factor updated their website with the following note:

“Since the launch of this show, we have heard the sad news of the passing of Clive Ward G1EUC. Clive is a major contributor in this episode, and all who watch the programme cannot fail to be impressed by his passion and dedication to the hobby of amateur radio over many years.

We at TX Factor send our condolences to Clive’s family, friends and colleagues at this sad time.”

CARS has also posted this Silent Key page in memory of Clive.

Our sympathies go out to all of Clive’s family and community and we hope those in the club continue to promote amateur radio as passionately as Clive did.
