[ADXA] Adam Farson - AB4OJ / VA7OJ (SK)

[WB5JJJ]

The name/calls may not immediately ring a bell, but he was the voice of
ICOM on many forums as he had contacts in Japan for all things ICOM.  He
started "rumors" and dispelled so many more about what's going on within
ICOM R&D as well as new radio releases.

I realized a month or so back that I wasn't seeing his posts anymore, but
didn't make much about it.  He had over 4,000 posts on the IC-7610 group
and over 3,800 on the IC-7300 group.  The last ones being in late January.
His history on groups.io goes back to mid 2016.

After several weeks of hospitalization, Adam passed on Friday (3/15/24) at
84 years old.  This was confirmed by Rob Sherwood (NC0B), a great ICOM
evaluator of equipment specifications himself with over 1,000 posts on
groups.io dating back to 2017.

Attached is a picture of his home lab where he tested out the gear.

73's
