Bill Wigg, G5OW, is, at 91, perhaps the oldest member of the G QRP Club. His membership number, 210, is certainly an old one. Bill began operating CW in 1932 and, in spite of a heart attack and a stroke and having to re-learn to talk, write and walk, he is still operating CW on the bands. In the summer of 2001 he was made an honorary member of the High-Speed CW Club. Bill promptly went on the air in their autumn CW contest and sent in a log to assist the scoring for other members. Much to his surprise he received a handsome certificate to testify that he was the leading British member in the contest! May I wish G5OW many more years of operating on the amateur bands.
