Recently, ACG member Darrell Penrod, K9MUG, suffered a fatal accident at
home and passed away the morning of 14 October, 2014 .
Daryl was an early member of the ACG and was very active in CW and RTTY
contests. There's an interesting story from one of the Ten-Tec hamfests in
Sevierville, TN: Darrell won the code copy contest and the prize. Speed
was 60 WPM. All of the other ops in the contest threw their hands up in
mock disgust.
As a tribute to Darrell, the ACG would like to dedicate this week's
operation of W1AW/4 in Alabama to his memory.
All Alabama hams, and especially members of the ACG, are asked to please
keep Daryl in their thoughts each time they log a W1AW/4 QSO this week.
Request widest dissemination of this note.
Thanks and good luck this week with all your W1AW/4 ops!
73, Tom, W4NBS
Secy, Alabama Contest Group
