R.I.P - Miss you

Hardly met such a polite, professional top-operator.
Roy was a real gentleman in things which matter in SOTA.
Will always remember and miss his CW signs,

So very sorry to hear the news of Roy’s death.
I remember with gratitude his help with spotting and his general encouragement when I first started SOTA.
I also have good memories of expeds to Blackpool with Roy, Nick G4OOE, and Pete M0HQO.
RIP Roy.

Sad news … R.I.P. Roy.
Had Roy in my log 15 times between 2016 and 2018.
Thanks for reporting John, my condolences to you, and pass them on to his family.

That is sad news.
I’m an occasional activator, so Roy’s only in my log a few times, but I particularly remember the first time I heard that di di dit di di dit di di di dit answering my CQ.
RIP Roy

I am very sorry to hear this sad news.
I am always happy to contact the usual hunters on the summits, among them was Roy with his unmistakable call.
Rest in peace Roy.

I’ve never been proficient in using words, my statement here is not as eloquent as those preceding, however I would like to add my condolences.
I think my first QSO with Roy was when I was using a modified RockMite as part of LA1KHA’s PP3 Challenge. I’d not worked many G stations on CW before as I had been mostly operating on 30m. My RockMite had been specially modified for 9v operation. I took the rig on a trip activating St Sunday Crag G/LD-010, Fairfield G/LD-007 and Seat Sandal G/LD-022. Roy is in my log for all three summits on that day.
Roy was a kind and patient gentleman and SOTA benefited hugely from his involvement. I have missed working Roy in recent years and will continue to do so.

A great loss to SOTA, and the amateur community at large. His was the only callsign I could guarantee to read without a repeat.
RIP OM
