Dr. Emil Pocock, W3EP, has become a Silent Key. He passed away on 
January 10, 2025, at the age of 78. From 1992 to 2002, Pocock edited 
“The World Above 50 MHz” for ARRL’s membership journal, /QST/. He served 
as a volunteer in the ARRL Laboratory for many years.

Pocock was first licensed at the age of 12 and found a career as an 
academic. He was well-regarded by colleagues at ARRL as always being 
willing to help and teach. Longtime /QST/ Editor Steve Ford, WB8IMY, led 
the publication during Pocock’s tenure. “Emil was a respected /QST/ 
columnist for many years and had extensively studied VHF propagation. 
His contributions to the amateur community will be missed,” said Ford.

According to his obituary 
<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zMjM3MjMxJnA9MSZ1PTUyMDUxMzg5OCZsaT0zNjY0NDMzNg/index.html>, 
Pocock is survived by his wife of more than 37 years, Ann; and two 
nieces, Rebecca Pocock and Juniper Downs, and their families. A 
celebration of life will be scheduled in the future.


If you've been around six meters for any length of time, you heard of 
Emil.  Great guy, worked him many times.  Just in case anyone is interested.


Steve, N4JQQ
