Don't know how many of you will remember "MDM Radio" - this gentleman 
was a fixture of the Chicago area for a long time.

It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing of Ted 
Bleiman, K9MDM, AKA Lefty due to complications from CoVid-19, on 
Saturday February 20, 2021.

Those of us in the ham and radio communications community remember him 
for his days at SPECTRONICS and later MDM radio. Ted was the “go to guy” 
for almost all the hard to find 2-way and repeater parts in the Chicago 
area (and maybe the country). His company motto was “ if it’s in stock, 
we’ve got it”

I knew Ted personally for quite a number of years, and he was the guy 
that was willing to help anyone any time with an electronic problem. Ted 
“officially” retired from the business about 5 years ago, but some of us 
knew he still had information to share, and occasionally a few VERY 
obscure parts!

Ted will be greatly missed by the electronics community as a whole and 
me personally (as my adopted uncle).

De Howard, N9KTW
