• Ron Burke, KB9DJA, had a sad announcement:
Dwight Dawson, K9SYK, old call was WB9SYK, passed away this past weekend.
Funeral Services pending. Click HERE for Obituary and more info..
Dwight had been a ham in Hendricks County for a long time. I got to know Dwight by getting involved in Packet Radio Communications in the 1990's when he operated several BB's over the radio (Bulletin Board). Dwight also was known to help other hams out in Packet, as he ran his amateur radio stations all through the 90's. For the past couple of years Dwight would check in to the HCARES nets on Tuesday nights. I considered Dwight as a friend and ham who loved the hobby of amateur radio and especially think of him as one of the founding fathers of Packet radio communications in Hendricks County.
We will miss him !
