QSP from Dick Singer:
CQ
Sorry to say that we lost our friend Raj AG4HR who passed away at 10:30 Eastern time 1/12/2019. Raj was a Coast Guard Chief Radioman retired. He gave me backup on the NCS SOWP/CHRS net. He was always there and a great help. Raj was a friend and certainly will be missed. As they say in the Coast Guard he crossed the bar at 10:30 1/12/2019. Our wishes and prayers go out to his XYL and family.

Crossed the Bar: The sand bar at the mouth a river. This is one of the most naturally dangerous areas a Coast Guard or any ship operates in. Between the flow of the river and the tides, the bar can constantly move or change size.
The Coast Guard and US Navy no longer have Radio Men. THe job is included in the Communication Technician rate, which encompuses all forms of Digital Communication. Unfortunately it no longer includes the original digial mode, CW!
