We at SPARC (Southern Peninsula Amateur Radio Club) have received the distressing news that many items of radio equipment were stolen recently from the home of the late Bob Crowle VK3CDV (SK).
His son, Chris Crowle, has informed the police and provided them with a list of the stolen items, with their estimated resale values (list below).
Serial numbers are shown for three* of the items, but have not yet been determined for the others
Please be on the lookout for anything suspicious about such items being traded at a Ham/RadioFest , car boot sale or similar - or if you come across any other information that might be relevant - please let me know and I'll put you in touch with Chris Crowle.
Best address to contact me is secretary@sparc.asn.au
Thanks,
Jim VK3JST
Secretary, SPARC
