It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Chas Shinn W5PG.  Few of you know that Chas was involved in the earliest of meetings to discuss the merits of forming what has now become the DFW Contest Group.   Chas was an exceptional CW operator and a significant contributor to our group.

Memorial Services for Chas will be held this Saturday.  Here is a note from his son Matt with the details.

  • My name is Matt (KF5FRW) and I am his son. His memorial service will be Saturday the 21st at 2PM at First United Methodist Church Coppell. Please spread the word because the ham community is really important to him, anyone that was close to him is welcome to come. Thank you for your support and kindness/ prayers.

The obituary can be found online at the Dallas Morning News here
