Irv was instrumental in revitalizing the HCRA when it was failing a number of years ago. He brought the club back to life and we owe it's current existence to Irv and his work. While he had not been active in the club for a number of years, he will still be remembered by many of us. https://obits.masslive.com/obituaries/masslive/obituary.aspx?n=irving-slitzky&pid=197700312&fhid=15522 Larry, W1AST HCRA President Visit my Ham Radio club website at: www.HCRA.org Team K2H - 13 Colonies Massachusetts State Manager From wb1dby at gmail.com Fri Feb 12 08:46:13 2021 From: wb1dby at gmail.com (Larry Krainson) Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2021 08:46:13 -0500 Subject: [HCRA] Morse Code Meeting - Presentation of CW Academy by K1BG Message-ID: You're all invited to the HCRA Share the Knowledge session on CW Academy as presented by Bruce, K1BG on Tuesday, February, 16th at 7:00 pm.
