of TEARA and the Smithchart Amateur Radio Society.

Important News For All Technician Applicants *** Bill Edwards, K4BWC, SK 
Two
weeks to the hour after the passing of Bill's wife, Gail (see below),
Bill was fatally stricken by a heart attack on March 20, 2008. Bill was a ham for over
fifty years, and a long time member of the TEARA VE team. He was
also a former TEARA vice president and a founding member of the Smithchart
Amateur Radio Society. In addition, over the years he held
several ARRL division positions and was the owner of Omega
Electronics International in Knightdale. But
far more important than his accomplishments in amateur radio - and
there were many - Bill was our friend. He was never without
good joke and a kind word for all. He repaired ham gear to make a
living, but he lived to be with hams. Bill will be sorely
missed, and our VE sessions just won't be the same without him. Our Deepest Sympathies to Bill Edwards, K4BWC It
was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Gail Edwards
on March 6, 2008. Gail was the wife of Bill Edwards, one of our
VE team members. Those who knew her will never forget her
kindness and wonderful sense of humor.Watch for the TEARA General Class Study Guide Coming in 2008! Joint Effort by Area Clubs Yields New NWS Hams! A
cooperative effort by several area amateur radio groups - including the TEARA VE Team - resulted in the
licensing of four new meteorologist hams in the Raleigh Office of the
National Weather Service. For details, read NC4VA's account on
page 12 of the NWS "Changing Skies" newsletter, available HERE as a PDF file. ***
