Congratulations Reg! What is missing from the above is that Reggie, amateur call N3KAS, was also the Public Information Officer for the Pottstown Area Amateur Radio Club for many years. He will really be missed by the Boy Scouts and Amateur Radio Fraternities. Good luck to you in all future endeavors.
