I was very much touched by a post on a social media platform by a ham on World Amateur Radio Day which reminds us about those hams who are no longer with us i.e. they have become silent keys ( their keys has become silent) , their voices still ringing on our ears and also recalling their callsigns, the post reminds us to remember all amateurs who are no longer with us.
Yes, once voice which I still remember in my ear, perhaps the first amateur radio operator of Assam state of India (my home state) from Nagaon , to be on air , Silent Key VU2RCH, who left us in November ,2018 under tragic circumstances. Yes, he is longer with us but I always remember him as one of the pioneer of the amateur radio in Assam & also in the entire North East Region of India.
Here is a recording of the Voice Of VU2RCH..

On November 18th of 2018 on 7145kHz lsb,  I ,last lime heard VU2RCH on air before his passing away a few days later.I by chance recorded the audio & VU2NIL from Kharagpur, VU2AOR from Odisha & then VU3XBP(now VU2XBP) from Guwahati was on the fequency that time.

The audio recording ..

More reports/observations plus more amateur radio related news etc soon.
