 * Betty C. Mallay, KL7AP, SK: Betty Mallay, KL7AP, of Columbia, Maryland,
 died February 11 after a brief illness. She was 61. An ARRL Life Member,
 Mallay was a telecommunications specialist with the FCC's High Frequency
 Direction Finding (HFDF) Group in Columbia and an active radio amateur.
 "Betty was our project lead and worked closely with Riley Hollingsworth
 coordinating the HFDF side of our Amateur Radio enforcement work," said 
HFDF
 Group Manager Dave Larrabee, K1BZ. Before relocating to Maryland in 1996 to
 join the then-new HFDF Group, Mallay worked for 11 years at the FCC's
 Anchorage, Alaska, Monitoring Station. During her years in Alaska, she was
 active in the Anchorage Amateur Radio Club. Larrabee says Mallay enjoyed 
ham
 radio and had planned to make it an important part of her retirement.
 Although Mallay had planned to retire last fall, she agreed to stay on at
 the HFDF facility until March to help train new personnel. Survivors 
include
 her mother and several siblings. Arrangements are incomplete.
