N7VF, Norm Vandiver
One of our exceptional NADXA members, Norman Vandiver (N7VF) became a Silent Key on April 30th, 2021.
Norman was such a great person to know, and contributed so much to our club! His operating ethics we the best and he built up quite a following with his annual participation as W6T (Rover 2) during Route 66 on The Air and during the NPOTA event when he set up at Montezuma Castle National Monument, (operating from inside the the cab of his truck) almost every day during the year long event. He made 1000's of contacts then and thousands more contesting.
It was common for him to work well over 500 QSOs during the many, many weekend contests he entered as a NADXA member. He earned his DXCC years ago and also earned the club's Million Point award where you have to have a total of million contest points total earned during one calendar contest year.
We can not say enough good things about Norman and will miss him tremendously!
Rest in peace old friend.
