The Legacy of Larry

As you know, we lost Larry Mittman, N9AUG who battled several health issues. Larry’s enthusiasm for everything DELARA was unmatched! He could always be found at any DELARA activity, including Field Day. DELARA trustees have been notified that Larry’s love for DELARA will continue - Larry has left his amateur radio equipment to the club. This donation was begun with the Yaesu 950 which has been in the ARC station for some time. Now, the rest of his equipment will be coming to the club including his contest-grade Yaesu FT-5000, a Quadra system and many antennas and other rigs. Dale has received the legal notice of the donation, now we’ll allow time for the probate process to take place so we don’t know exactly when we’ll see the gear. Larry’s family and friends all speak of hie love for amateur radio and DELARA. We are honored beyond words to be able to remember Larry every time we operate the station! It’s heartwarming to no only remember Larry but Bob, N8OB with his Kenwood rig at the ARC station.

June Meeting: Field Day!

It’s coming! Field Day will be very different this year! (More details on the Field Day page in this edition). While large gatherings are not permitted (unless, of course, we’re protesting something) but that actually presents more opportunity for everyone to operate! We hope to actually ~see~ you at the Red Cross 7:30 PM Wednesday the 17th! The schedule for this year’s presentations is in a shambles as you can imagine. We tried to keep things going, and many thanks to those who did present on Zoom sessions! They were interesting and we learned stuff. But we’ll work now to get the rest of the year back in some semblance of order.
