[GCARC] Ken Newman N2CQ SK

[w2mmdgcarc]

All,
If anyone has any remembrances of Ken Newman that they would like to share,
I will take them. I will put them in the November CrossTalk and on the
website. Even though the deadline was Sunday, you still have time to get
them to me. A few sentences is all that is needed, more if you want. Please
get them to me by Sunday the 27th.

Thanks

Ken was one of the nicest and most well mannered people I have ever met in
my life. I only knew him since 2009. Just a true class act. RIP Ken.

Chuck,
Thanks for the info.
I just wanted to share some early ham radio memories of Ken N2CQ.
I first met Ken when I got my novice (WN2BVV) back in June 1967. WB2WAK Paul
was the science teacher at Williamstown High School then, and ran an amateur
radio club for activities period. Several of us earned our novice that year
and joined GCARC. Paul was also friends with Ken and recruited all the new
novices for GCARC. Those were the years when the club met on the top floor
of the Pitman Municipal Building.

Ken invited me to attend FD for 1968. I had upgraded to General by then, and
had a home station consisting of a Heathkit DX-60B to transmit, and a
Hammarlund HQ-180A receiver. Dipoles and a small Mosley tribander were the
antennas.
At the 1968 FD, Ken was the primary op on 80CW, and was running a pileup at
30WPM or more, being a talented CW op. He had amassed a small crowd who were
marveling at his high QSO rate and flawless copying of the many stations
calling. I was a night-time op on 20m CW that year (General portion only of
course). There was a lot of competition back then to operate the best CW
bands, and often a list of ops waiting to step in and grab a few hours.

You will be sorely missed OM. RIP,
73 Darrell AB2E
