The Northern California DX Club will always remember those members who have passed on and become "SK" or Silent Keys. Friends and fellow hams, we remember their friendship, contributions to the Amateur Radio, to the NCDXC, to their families, and to their Communities.
Below is a list of those who have passed from 1945-1993. If you have any further information or corrections please contact us. Thank you to our club historian Ross Forbes, K6GFJ for keeping track and providing us with this list.
