WACOM President’s Message

June 2014 Bill—NY9H

2

Hello Summer. Goodbye Friends.

As we end the month of June, it has been a terrible month for WACOM...we lost two of US.

Hard to believe that Fay, KA3VOM and Denny, K8DKS are gone....

For quite a while I have known of the MANY contributions made by Fay to WACOM. VOM was

about as active a member as possible. She attended ALL the meetings, ran our 10 meter net, also

ran the YL net on the repeater. She was a major player at the Hamfest, (how does one spell PIES).

Fay was a special lady. And that was only her radio activities. Her WACOM activity was exceeded,

hard to believe, by her church contributions. We already miss ya...

Then Denny K8DKS. I thought I knew a bit about Denny, but I knew little until we went to his service

to see Debbie KD8KAC. DKS was another individual that let no grass grow under his feet. The as-

semblage of photos depicted many different aspects of his life. Family & Family and then country

music and more. He was not just "into" country, he was IN it...playing & enjoying the friendships

with some very famous Country names.

There are so many different aspects of our WACOM members, as we are quite the diverse group.

Our WACOM consists of us, nothing more.

End of June = FIELD DAY .. THIS COMING WEEKEND.

We need overnight operators... we have some , but that shift is usually very light on operators.

Friday at 1 PM , around behind the Fire Hall , we will start our preliminary setup, using the 'launcher'

to fling the antenna lines over the trees,... final setup of club computers and rigs,,,,tents....join us!

Did you know we have a GOTA station for those who never get on HF. It's call the GetOnTheAir.

We will have "trained" experts ;) to assist you on the GOTA should you not wish to operate one of

the five main stations.

Some people come to operate...some to setup and some to

eat... Please do come and do "Your Thing"

N. Fay Frankenbery, KA3VOM – SK (1936-2014)

by Ken Frankenbery—AA3GM

Fay Frankenbery, KA3VOM became a silent key after a short but valiant

fight with cancer at 10:45PM on 4 June 2014 just shy of her 78th birthday.

For WACOM, Fay was remembered mainly for three things: running the 10-

meter net for over two decades, making incredible pies for Field Day and the

WACOM Christmas Party, and her ever-present smile. As Bill NY9H stat-

ed, “she was about as active member as possible.” As her son (and editor of

this newsletter), I can state that while she wasn’t big on chasing DX, she

loved the fellowship with the other radio amateurs in WACOM!

We were a family of hams, KA3VOM (Fay), KD3RZ (David), KD0TKE (Tina), and AA3GM

(Ken). One is now sadly missing…. My mother had to have been the nicest person I know...I

think all members could relate to that. She really enjoyed coming to the meetings, participating

in the 2-meter net, running the 10-meter net and baking those pies! She was also very active at

the Emmanuel Presbyterian Church and baked pies and prepared other food for many functions

as a deacon. She also sang in the choir. Fay was always at the forefront in helping others!

Our family would like to sincerely thank the members of WACOM for their support of Fay

during the last couple of months while she battled cancer. Bill (NY9H) and Don

(KB3YLR) were kind enough to take down her main tower within an hour - a task she

was genuinely worried about after she learned she was terminally ill. The subsequent

flow of well-wishes, prayers, cards, and attendance at her viewing/funeral are so appre-

ciated by us as well.

After a painful separation of seven years, my mother now re-joins my father, Lowell

Frankenbery (whom she had been married to for nearly 52 years). Fay can now trans-

mit at 28.340 MHz from that infinitely high

tower! 73s and farewell…we’ll miss you!

Dennis K. Schwing, K8DKS – SK (1952-2014)

WACOM also morns the loss of Dennis Keith Schwing, 61, of Limestone, WV, who passed away suddenly on June 13, 2014. He was born August 19, 1952 to the late Herman J. and Wava Bostic Schwing. Dennis was a retired machinist from Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel and a former machine tool technology teacher at John Marshall High School. In addition to being a member of our club, he loved country music, his family, and was a member of the National Rifle Association Survivors include his wife of 40 years, Deborah Francis Schwing; (KD8KAC) daughter, Jamie (Darby Copeland) of Martins Ferry; son, Jason (Stacey Whetzel) of Limestone; granddaughter, Alexandra; two special girls, Katie Copeland and Sierra Bigford; brother, Harold (Suzie) of Moundsville; several nieces, nephews and cousins; his constant companion, J.D.

Rest in Peace Denny….we will miss you! [Ed.] Debbie (KD8KAC) with Denny (K8DKS) at Field Day, 2012

Experimental Stations to Transmit Field Day Greetings on 630 Meters

06/25/2014

To promote awareness of the 630 meter band, several radio amateurs with FCC Part 5 experimental licenses — including a

couple who are associated with the ARRL 600 Meter Experimental Group — will transmit Field Day greetings in CW on 630

meters throughout Field Day weekend, June 28-29.

These include WG2XKA (WA3ETD operator), running 1 W ERP on 472.5 kHz from Vermont; WG2XJM (NO3M operator),

running 20-30 W ERP on 473.0 kHz from Pennsylvania; WG2XIQ (KB5NJD operator), running 1 W ERP on 474.0 kHz from

Texas; WD2XSH/20 (N6LF operator), running 20 W ERP on 475.0 kHz from Oregon, and WE2XPQ (KL7L operator), run-

ning 50 W ERP on 472.00 kHz from Alaska.

Field Day stations may try using an HF transceiver capable covering the 472-479 kHz range to listen for these stations and

others. Send reception reports to the individual operators. — Thanks to John Langridge, KB5NJD/WG2XIQ, viaQRZ.com

National Weather Service forecaster, storm chaser, and SKYWARN pioneer Alan “Al” Moller, N5ZCB, of Benbrook, Texas, died June 19. He was 64. Moller and Chuck Doswell were the primary contributors to the development of the national SKY-WARN program.

Moller was a Senior Forecaster (retired) at the National Weather Service Fort Worth, Texas, Office, where, the NWS said, he “tirelessly worked to better understand thunderstorms and tornadoes, while at the same time teaching others to responsibly observe and report storm information from the field. He was a voice and a bridge between operational and research meteorol-ogy, and thus, was respected by both of these meteorological disciplines.”

He also was a writer and cinematographer, known for StormWatch (1995), Tornadoes: A Spotter's Guide (1977), and Chasing the Wind (1991). In addition, Moller enjoyed nature and landscape photography.

Moller held bachelor’s and master’s degrees in meteorology from The University of Oklahoma. Doswell, a friend and col-league Moller met at the University of Oklahoma, described Moller as passionate about public service as well as about fore-casting and severe storms.

“He was profoundly committed to that, doing spotter training talks all over North Texas and elsewhere — the best spotter training anyone could have asked for, dispensed with his unique style and panache.” Doswell said Moller “cared about peo-ple — all people — and did whatever it took to help them, if they needed something.”

According to his Dallas Morning News obituary, Doswell and Moller started a storm-chaser program in 1972, theorizing that weather observations from the field could help forecasters. This established the groundwork for SKYWARN, a volunteer pro-gram with nearly 290,000 trained severe-weather spotters, many of them Amateur Radio licensees, who work with NWS fore-casters by providing real-time observations.

“Moller taught volunteers how to call in observations and the Weather Service employees to work with the observers,” the newspaper article said. “Throughout his career, Moller trained thousands of storm spotters — on duty and in his spare time — and organized them into a reporting network.”

Storm Prediction Center forecaster Roger Edwards said, “Al’s unrestrained love for severe storms, his similarly unbridled can-dor, his outstanding analytic skill, and his deep devotion to science in forecasting, each impressed me a great deal from the start.”

Memorials may be made to the Humane Society of North Texas, 1840 E Lancaster Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76103. — Thanks to Sam Barricklow, K5KJ
