Thanks Dave, and thanks for posting this to the list (just saved me from duplicating the effort)
I also couldn't find any ham with the last name of Braham living in Florida. I hadn't thought about them being at a relative's home.
Putting the city (Palm Bay FL) and street name (Alaska Avenue) into QRZ came up with KJ4KFF. But that could certainly be a coincidence (and should be treated as such until proven otherwise)
Regardless of whether or not they were licensed, or a relative was, or what the circumstances of their operating was, it is a tragedy for the family.
I found more information here: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/orl-bk-palm-bay-family-electrocuted-101309,0,4124089.story
The last names are mentioned, but there is nobody with that name who is a ham in Florida. However, the video on that web page mentions that they were at a relatives house, so I assume the relative was the ham. In any case, a real shame.
