   Island CW Club. Walt loved boating, aviation and all things Marconi   
   -traveling with his friend Tom, KA2D, to the World Radiosport Team   
   Championship in Bologna, Italy, to make a kind of pilgrimage to the   
   radio pioneer's birthplace in 2023.   
      
   This past July, at the age of 92, Walt became a Silent Key.   
      
   His legacy includes the Great South Bay Amateur Radio Club in Babylon,   
   New York. He was present at its first organizational meeting in the   
   summer of 1974 - months before the club even chose its current name. He   
   eventually served as the group's second president, succeeding the   
   founding president, Bob Myers, K2TV. On Saturday, November 9th, Great   
   South Bay members will be on the HF bands from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.   
   localtime.   
      
   Although they will be calling QRZ with the club callsign W2GSB, with   
   every QSO their thoughts will be of W2TE - a founder and a friend,   
   forever missed.   
      
   This is Paul Braun WD9GCO. (GREAT SOUTH BAY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB; BOB   
   MYERS, K2TV, QRZ.COM)
