Tribute to SK Maurice C. McGleish Jr.

K8CPW/B

As a tribute to my late father, Maurice (Bud) McGleish, I set up this propagation beacon which runs 24/7 on the 10 meter ham band. My father’s callsign, K8CPW was transferred to me after his passing and I wanted to keep it alive and active. The radio is an Icom 751 which originally belonged to my father and was passed down to me. If you hear the beacon, pse QSL. Thank you
