This is the term used in amateur radio circles for people who have, sadly, died. It must date from the very early days when most people used Morse and Morse keys. The phrase may be over 100 years old.
In the last year or so, two of the people locally that I chatted with every week have become SK. The one thing they had in common was their zest for life.
Both enjoyed finding new things right up until they died. Both are missed, but their vitality lives on.
RIP Ted G4NUA and Ian G3KKD. Ted was keen on PCs and WSPR, and Ian was experimenting with DATV. Ian liked all things ATV. Even to the end he was building 5.6 GHz ATV kit.
