It is with great sadness that I announce the sudden passing of Adam Kryger N5YYZ (WSCY443 on GMRS), now N5YYZ/SK. His spirit for radio greatly impacted our area, and he definitely had large plans to help grow this area with his participation in the Hualapai Amateur Radio Club. He will be greatly missed.

Through the various conversations that I’ve had with Adam, he proved to be full of compassion and generosity, and I only wish that he could’ve been here longer to further the projects he had in mind.

Here’s to his legacy, our friendship, and the people he touched throughout the years. 73 N5YYZ de WB7N. Enjoy the skies brother.

Field Day was quite a success! Unfortunately, some of us forgot to take photos during the meat and potatoes of the event including the food, however there are more photos coming! We’re so glad to have participated in ARRL Field Day this year with members do the Mohave Amateur Radio Club, N.A.B.R. - Neighbors Helping Neighbors, and London Bridge Amateur Radio Association. In just our electronic logs we hit 181 contacts and we also have pending paper logs to count as well! We would thank all who attended, as well as everyone that came to visit around lunch time on Saturday! We greatly enjoyed your presence and hope you all got a good chance to see what ham radio is like. We will post our total point count later once it’s all tabulated. Thanks for coming, and we now look forward to Winter Field Day in January!
