John Rourke, WA2FYL (sk)

John Rourke WA2FYL (SK) passed away on May 16th. John had been sick for the past two years and had not been on the air. He was a long time member of ECARS and many of our old timers will remember him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

We have a shortage of Net Control Operators. If you check into ECARS regularly please consider contributing one hour a week of your time so that we can keep providing a full schedule of ECARS services. Contact our net manager John WA1STU or any one of the NCOs.
