It’s with great sadness that we share the news of another SK. Bill Silva aka. “Colusa Bill” (KA6FKK) passed away on September 20th due to complications from a stroke.

From dialing around 40M and landing on that BIG voice to hearing him participate on nearly all of our nets including the Coffee Break, Given the distance, and being the sole caretaker of his mom, it was hard for Bill to attend many events but he did make a special trip to Hamfest last March to meet Brian and Smitty; it was great to put a face with the voice. 🙂

Bill’s voice, laugh, and calm demeanor will certainly be missed.  As we learn more about his celebration of life, we’ll make sure to share it here.
