Adam Farson AB4OJ/VA7OJ, a
very old friend has died. Adam was a resident of Florida and a
good friend before moving to Vancouver. He moderated several Icom
and other Groups. He was in the Hospital fro several weeks before
entering Hospice Care. Services were held last Friday I
understand.He recently won The 2022 Technical Achievements Award
at Dayton. - Bill W2CQ
From That Announcement:
Technical Achievement Award
Adam Farson, VA7OJ/AB4OJ, of West Vancouver, B.C., received the
Technical Achievement Award for his dedicated professional work
with RF and telecommunications engineering issues and
innovation. He has been a ham since he was a teenager.
Best known to the amateur radio community for his development of
multiple sources of technical support for Icom radios, Farson
started an Icom technical support net on 20 meters in the 1980s.
He and came to know several senior Icom Japan engineers while
living in, and traveling around, Japan while working. With each
week's net, Farson helped hams solve challenging technical and
logistical issues.
Farson has spent 3 decades creating an online resource for HF
radios. His website -- a repository for highly technical
information on Icom and other HF transceivers and amplifiers --
is now one of the most widely cited internet resources.He
independently performs measurements on nearly all new radios,
including noise-power ratio, a measure he developed. His work
includes producing the only data radio hobbyists have, which
clearly delineates how modern software-defined radios (SDRs)
perform across the spectrum of band noise levels. Farson has
written multiple articles for technical and amateur radio
journals. Recently, he penned a multipart series on modern HF
solid-state amplifier design principles.
RIP Adam Farson
