Dear Fellow Central Division ARRL Members,

 It is with deep sorrow that I announce the
passing of W9IXG, Mr Donald Michalski of Madison
Wisconsin. First licensed in 1957, Don served the
amateur radio community from 1999 until 2015 as the
ARRL Wisconsin Section Manager.
 A graduate Electrical Engineer, with many accomplishments,
Don had been the Associate Director of the University of Wisconsin
Space Astronomy Laboratory. Although he retired in 2000,
Don did remain active with many various departments at the
University of Wisconsin. Don was also an avid bicyclist,
not only participating in biking events but also commuting
to work each day by bicycle. He was a net control for the daily
Badger Weather Net held on 3984 kHz daily and he
was an officer of W9YT, the University of Wisconsin - Badger
Amateur Radio Society.

 He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Ann;
his daughter, Lisa Danielson (Mark) and his grandson,
Mathias Danielson of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

 A memorial service will be held at the Cress Funeral Home,
3610 Speedway Road, Madison, Wisconsin on
 Saturday, August 18, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. 
A visitation will be held at the funeral home from 10:00 a.m.
until the time of service. 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the
