Nick, Didn't Harry have a group of hams that sent him weather reports? I believe that was Harry who mentioned them quite often. Or maybe I'm thinking of someone else. :roll: I always wondered if he was a ham. I don't see him listed on the ARRL web site search. Any way he will be missed and remembered. |

Jim wrote: Didn't Harry have a group of hams that sent him weather reports? Yes, known as "Harry's Hams". If I remember right the net was on the Mike and Key K7LED repeater 146.82 and Harriet KC7KR was usually the net control? I think the ham reports were discontinued due to the use of Amateur Radio being used to "gather news information for a commercial purpose" IE broadcast on a commercial for-profit TV or Radio station.

Thanks for the information. I thought that was Harry. What ever happened to his son ? Wasn't he following in his dads line of work? Andy I believe his name was. |

Yeah Andy was Chief Meteorologist for KIRO. He left to make way for Chief Weather Hottie Rebecca Stevenson. He is at PSE now. |
