Why doesn't someone answer the bloody question instead of
making irellevant and silly remarks?
I think the amateur was GM3MUM (GM4MUM?). I seem to recall that he only had
the use of one toe but used it very effectively!
I'll see if I can find the article.

The amateur concerned was indeed Peter GM3MUM. He was very disabled
with what I now believed to be a variant of motor neurone disease.
Despite this he lived semi independently in one of the Leonard Cheshire
foundation homes in Edinburgh. His speech was very difficult to make out
on first acquaintance but he managed make him self understood in many
other ways ! He was also able to control his immediate environment by
using a "flipper" arrangement connected to a Possum PC which
controlled the lights, curtains, door entry system and telephone,
he could indeed also bash out a good rate of Morse with his big toe !
I had the pleasure of assisting him to set up a packet radio system and
was both astonished and humbled by his perseverance and rather dry sharp
sense of humour in the face of great adversity.
Peter was an inspiration to those who took the time to look past the
recumbent wheelchair bound human wreckage that contained a person denied
the everyday ability to communicate and move around freely that most of
us take for granted.
A worthy subject for a radcom article.
Best regards

Hi Steven,
The other replies have told you it's Peter, GM3MUM - but you
might also be interested in a book called "My World", an
autobigraphy of Gail Taylor, ISBN 185776210X - available from The
Book Guild :- http://www.bookguild.co.uk/
She is a remarkable severely disabled lady.

Here's the article I mentioned, Steve.
Ignore the brain-dead.
From RadComm, December 1999, page 11:
" A MEMORIAL stone has been laid in memory of the late Peter
Odell, GM3MUM. Peter overcame considerable disabilities to
become a well known and widely liked amateur. After he died
in July 1998, (see September 1998 RadCom, p39), fellow radio
amateurs decided to raise money in his memory. The stone was
laid in Redcar, Teeside, bearing the inscription ' RIP Peter
Odell, GM3MUM, From All Your Amateur Radio Friends '.
Peter was born with cerebral palsy and was totally disabled,
having the controlled use of only one toe. As a keen amateur
he made many friends and was affectionately known as 'Twinkle-
toes'. He embraced modern technology, using a computer to
enhance his radio activities on packet, and made good use of
the Internet. "

Well that's more than I was able to dig up. Well done! The bit I
posted was a short half-column news item. I didn't have the earlier
article.

coast. His callsign (G3MUM) was allocated as a tribute to his mother,
who did so much to get him on the air. His first equipment was (please
correct me if I'm wrong) a Panda Cub transmitter and an R1155
receiver... and he passed the Morst test! I worked him frequently when I
lived in Northumberland. He was a 'distant local' (ie groundwave signal,
about 70 miles away). I think that he moved to a Cheshire Home in
Harrogate when his parents died, and later moved to Edinburgh, when he
changed to the 'GM' callsign. The last time I talked to him (from South
Bucks, several years ago) was (believe it, or not) on 10m, FM!!!
I met Peter once (at the South Shields rally in 1960 or 61). He was
terribly incapacitated by cerebral palsy (these days it is politically
incorrect to say 'spastic'). He was a GREAT guy.
Ian.

He was at the St. John of God hospital in Scorton (near Richmond) for
a while. I never met him, but worked him on 80m.
An example of inspiration if ever there was one.

Considering that the target of his thoughtless comments
is nearly as badly disabled as GM3MUM, I should hope he
would lose his licence.
