Sad news. River City ARCS member Bill Yeargain, KO6KD, of Roseville, CA became a Silent Key on the weekend of June 6. Due to health issues he had been housebound for the past several years. He was a very accomplished and active DXer, was regularly heard on 145.535 MHz FM simplex and checked into our nets from time to time.
See his extensive biography on the QCWA site and his QRZ page.
We will pass along any news of plans for a memorial service.
