Call Sign

Until early 2008, the call sign of the club repeater was K4YHB. Upon the passing of our friend and ARASWF life member Jordan Mash, WB2QLP, the club unanimously voted to adopt Jordan’s call sign In Memoriam, and WB2QLP officially became the club call sign on May 28, 2008.

Jordan is pictured below, so we will never forget him and the many, many contributions he made to ARASWF, and the amateur radio community. He is sorely missed by all who knew him.
