[nrv-hams] WA6ITF Activation this weekend

[Ben Williams]

(From the Amateur Radio NewsLine) Happy birthday Bill Pasternak WA6ITF. 
Bill created the original Amateur Radio Newsline as the Westlink Radio 
Network long before many of us were hams - although there are just as 
many who already had their license who may remember listening to his 
reports.

Bill became a Silent Key five years ago. He would have been 72 years old 
on Friday February 7th. On that day and into the weekend, the Amateur 
Radio Newsline Amateur Radio Club is planning its first activation of 
WA6ITF, which has become our club call sign. This is an informal 
activation. Be listening for any and all of the Newsline staffers on the 
HF bands as well as DMR, D-STAR, Fusion and EchoLink. We'll be spotting 
on DXSummit to help you find us. What a great gift of communication for 
all of us, remembering and celebrating Bill.
