As many of you may havealready heard, Wayne Wright, KA5QDG, passed away on Friday, October 11, 2024.Wayne had been battling the affects of a heart attack that he had lastyear.
Wayne, who was retiredfrom the radio communication section of Union Pacific Railroad, was the mainoperator of repeaters in the greater Houston area. Through Houston AmateurMobile Society (HAMS), he, along with other hams, built a network of over 40 repeatersproviding communication support for everything from the Wings Over Houston AirShow to the Houston Marathon to the MS150 Bike Ride. Wayne was truly a pillarand driving force in the local HAM community. I met Wayne overtwenty-five years ago during the interference problems that BVARC wasexperiencing. Wayne was the main team member that helped locate and identifythe hams that were jamming the BVARC repeater. Wayne was also an"Elmer" to many hams in the Houston area and providing support to thehobby that he genuinely loved. He will be missed but Wayne's presence willcontinue with the knowledge that he gave the amateur radio community. Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts.
