Arthur C Clarke dies
We are sad to note the passing of writer Arthur C Clarke. While not a licensed amateur, his technical and literary work influenced many in the amateur world. He was well respected by many amateur organisations, notably AMSAT, and was once President of the British Amateur Television Club. [RSGB]
