The end of an era with K7RA publishing his last ARRL Propagation Report on January 17:
“Sorry to say this is the last ARRL Propagation Forecast Bulletin I willwrite. I took over in 1991 from Ed Tilton, W1HDQ when he was too ill and weak to continue, and now with ALS I have similar problems.”
This easily-missed sentence at the start of the report belies the immense service Tad has provided to the amateur radio community for 34 years.
I’ve on-again-off-again read this reports in rec.radio.* newsgroups since the 90s, and I am sure may others have received them by email or via the web in more modern times.
Thanks Tad for all your work on these reports over all the years. These reports are an iconic part of the amateur radio experience, and web 1.0 era.
