For those who knew or had ever met Chip, he went silent key last week. He spent 29 years at Yaesu. I bumped into him at Belton a few years ago and he remembered me from several years back at Dayton.
You might have seen him on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2005 when he had a contest against a couple of kids texting vs him and ken miller K6CTW sending "ancient" CW... This link below gives a great overview of all the things he accomplished over his years in the Ham community. Tribute to Charles "Chip" H.
