Dr Francois Chamalaun passed away in Adelaide, Australia, in April 2024. Francois was a Senior Lecturer in Geophysics at Flinders University in South Australia and foundation Chairman of its School of Earth Sciences. He was an internationally respected scientist, enthusiastic teacher, and valued mentor. His 40-year research career led to new insights into the electrical structure of the Earth and its atmosphere, particularly in Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, India, and New Zealand.

Much of this research was made possible through the development by Francois and Flinders University technical officer Bob Walker of a portable self-contained microprocessor-based three-component magnetometer. This is a short reflection on the use of this innovative instrument in the first-of-its-kind Australia-Wide Array of Geomagnetic Stations (AWAGS).
