Call sign trustee currently BVARC Vice President - Kori WX5KR
| | | BVARC CLUB CALL KK5W Through the graciousness of Betty Wilcox Zermeno the Brazos Valley Amateur Club has acquired the call of her husband, Al Zermeno, KK5W. As you might remember, Betty (KA0TEN) is a Past President of the Club and she thought it only "fitting" for the Club to get Al's call. The FCC granted the call to the club on April 8, 2005 with Randy Pollard (AK5G) as the first trustee. Early in 2010, Randy Pollard turned over the license trustee to Earl “Ross” Lawler, Jr. (W5HFF) and the FCC has granted a new license for KK5W to W5HFF as the trustee. Ross had a special relationship with Al as both had received their undergraduate degrees in physics from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio. Al continued on his studies and received his Doctorate degree in Physics from Rice University. A plaque with the license and a biography of Al Zermeno will be at all Club functions when the call is used. For those of you that did not know Al, you missed a special person and a special and exceptional amateur radio operator. Al Zermeno was a member of our Club for many years. He was always eager to help our Club in any way he could and participated in many public service events. He was a frequent speaker at our monthly Club meetings talking on complex subjects but “in his own way” he was able to make everyone understand the topic. He was the organizing force that installed and ran the radio room at M.D. Anderson Hospital. He was an “Elmer” to all Hams and a friend to all he talked to on the radio. Al retired from the medical field where he worked as a Physicist for M.D. Anderson for 25 years. Al was born in San Antonio, Texas and had four daughters. | | THE BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB P.O.
