Roger Baker VK3BKR (SK)
Roger Baker became a Silent Key on Tuesday 8 July 2025.
He was a member of the EMDRC (Inc) for over 40 years and in that time had served many years on Committee, oversaw the implementation of the workshop at the Clubrooms, and provided a wealth of practical knowledge in running the facilities.
Through Baker Radio, the members were beneficiaries of access to surplus 2 way radios, configured for the 2 m & 70 cm bands.
Roger was involved in a variety of off road activities that required 2 way radio and repeaters to support competitors’ safety. Nothing was too much trouble for him.
We will miss Roger on Thursday mornings and Friday night meetings.
He will be fondly remembered for his contribution to Amateur Radio and the EMDRC.
Vale Roger
