Fare thee well and 73 Clare Fowler VE3NPC, Silent Key
|
|
|
The world of Amateur Radio lost Clare Fowler on Sunday, March 16, 2025. He was a life-long Amateur Radio operator and a beloved, long-time member of the Ottawa Amateur Radio Club. You can read his full obituary here. Clare enjoyed countless hours contacting radio operators around the world, testing and building antennas, and sharing his knowledge on radio calls, at club meetings, and in international publications.
|
The OARC’s Clare Fowler Award, the award for technical merit at our annual Homebrew Night, was named for him because he won it so many times! It will be awarded in perpetuity in his memory at the OARC’s Homebrew Night.
