Title: Saying good bye to a ham radio operator
Post by: sage on Nov 17, 14, 04:23:19 PM

Can someone out there tell me the saying you use when a HAM radio operator dies. We used it at my Father's memorial and now I cannot remember what it was. I think it had the word silent in it. Thanks so much!

Silent Key refers to an amateur radio operator who is deceased.
