Silent Key - Bill Faust, AD4AZ


This morning, I received terrible news from Steve Jonas, W4SDJ. Bill Faust, AD4AZ passed away in his sleep last night. It is surprise news, as Bill was at the Coastal Amateur Radio Society meeting last night and appeared to be well.



Bill was one of the first who congratulated me and welcomed me to HF when I upgraded to General last year. When I was doing packet on 2 Meters not long after I was originally licensed, he was one of the first packet contacts I had.

My condolences to Bill's family and friends. He was a respected member of the Savannah amateur radio community; he will be missed.
