Ham Nation Special: Worlds oldest ham SK at age 109

Although the focus on Cliff has been his years serving in the war and his later years in South Carolina, there has been little said about the 40-50 years he resided here in Greeneville TN and his contributions to the amateur community in this area. Cliff was instrumental with putting up the first 2 meter repeater in Greene County TN back in the 70's. He built the duplexer from plans that I think were featured in QST. He was the repeater trustee and had the repeater callsign on one of his cars. WR4AHP. I have a vivid memory of going up on the mountain and watching him work on the repeater on a summer day when I was in my late teens.

 

RIP
