I have just heard that Fred Cady, KE7X has passed away. This from James Pastorfield:
“Educator, Author, Contester Fred Cady, KE7X, SK Fred Cady, KE7X, of Bozeman, Montana, died on May 16. An ARRL Life Member, he turned 77 earlier this month. Cady was a professor emeritus of electrical and computer engineering at Montana State University. He co-authored The Successful Ham Radio Operator’s Handbook with Vic DiCiccio, VE3YT. Cady also wrote several manuals on how to use Elecraft equipment. Licensed in 1959, Cady earned a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, and was a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He taught for more than 40 years and published five textbooks on microcomputers. An avid CW contester, Cady was a member of the world record-holding Team Vertical contest group”. What a loss to not only his family, but to the Amateur Radio fraternity, especially Elecraft owners who use his books as a bible. RIP OM. 73, Alan.
