/////////////////////////////////////////// Nate Brightman, Queen Mary Radio Operator, Dies at 99: Posted: 31 Oct 2016 06:43 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/37881 Nathen "Nate" Brightman, the friendly and always smiling amateur radio operator after whom the Queen Mary Wireless Room was named, died Friday from pancreatic cancer. He was 99. Born Oct. 9, 1917 in Cleveland, Ohio to Irving and Celia Brightman, he was one of six children and the last surviving. While growing up in Cleveland, Brightman lived in the same apartment house as Joe Shuster, the cartoonist who created Superman. It was an era when family entertainment consisted of listening to a Victrola record player, and later the radio, when Brightman enjoyed listening to music and Jewish comedians. Howard Brightman said his father was a "wonderful, warm, very people-oriented" man who always encouraged his children to do the best they could in any endeavor. When Howard Brightman was around 10 years old, he asked his father if he could take up amateur, or ham radio, as a hobby. "He did the studying with me, and we passed our radio license exams together," Howard Brightman said. "He fell in love with it, and I moved on to other things. Dad stayed with it." Indeed, Nate Brightman operated under the call letters K6OSC for nearly 60 years. He was an expert to the degree that he helped Navy sailors speak to relatives and loved ones during Vietnam, and helped with disaster relief efforts in various parts of the world. /////////////////////////////////////////// Ham Radio Operators to Help Administration During National Calamity, Emerge Posted: 31 Oct 2016 06:43 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/37880 Ham Radio Operators in Puducherry and adjoining districts of Tamil Nadu today offered all help to the District Administration in case of any Natural Calamity or emergency. /////////////////////////////////////////// Ham College 22 is Released: Posted: 31 Oct 2016 06:44 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/37879 In this episode we cover more circuits and schematic symbols. |
