Moderated Sad news- Cray Lester K5MUG went silent key
|
Cray's daughter just contacted me and let me know that her father passed away earlier this week. For those who knew Cray he was a very active and long time member of our club. He championed CW and especially QRP. He will be greatly missed.
The silent key committee is in contact with his daughter as to disposition of his equipment. I'll provide information on his funerial, etc as it come available. |

If this is the same Lester who edited and published the Bexar Wire for many years and who went to schools with me with many others will be missed. Sad news. This leaves a great hole in Ham Radio. Love you and miss you. Old call sign N5WSW, now W5JX. Donald Lee Jones 122 Saratoga Dr. San Antonio, Texas 78213-3543 Cell Telephone (210) 374-1776 n5wsw@... or dj1072@...

Sorry to hear about Cray. I remember from the '70s. I think he used to teach at SAC.

Very sad news. I met Cray at my first field day a couple years ago. He talked to me extensively about CW. The next time I saw him at a SARC meeting I told him he sold me on CW and I signed on with LICW to learn. He lit up. I will miss him. On Fri, Mar 24, 2023 at 19:19 J C Smith <n5rxs@...> wrote:
