[SEDXC] Memorial Service for K4GA

[Carl]

Years ago, I wrote an article for the club newsletter about W4NT.  I 
interviewed Ben Adams, K4EZ, Clay, W4DXI, and maybe Bruce, W4BFR about 
Lloyd.  As I recall, he was an original founding member of SEDXC, back 
in 1958.  It might be worth while to talk to Bruce and see what he 
remembers.

It might be worthwhile to keep W4NT and get K4GA as well, if you can.  
You would just have to have a different trustee.  Of course, there is 
the ethical question also, of whether it is appropriate to tie up good 
callsigns for radio clubs.

73, Carl
