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.

Diminishing of Services |
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.
