Ted Cadman, KL7CCI was a member of the Anchorage Amateur Radio Club, achieving more than 50 years of service.  Some highlights during those years included emergency communications rendered for the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake.   Ted used the net for emergency assistance with local authorities, coordinated arranging a tractor trailer to haul and operate a dozer in the Turnagain sloughed area.

Phone pateches was another form of service that Ted enjoyed providing.  When normal communications were interrupted the use of patching people to their family and friends through the net provided a vital link.

Ted helped man the World Championship Sled Dog Races musher board the club put together for Fur Rondy.  The truck was donated by Ted's employer, Roger and Babler Construction Company. Ted's family helped work on the board moving mushers's to their correct checkpoints along the race route.

 

He was life long friends with Jack Reich, KL7NO and Margie Reich, KL7BLL.

In coordination with the Anchorage Police Department, Ted provided surveillance when Anchorage was experiencing a rash of vandalism. He would sit atop the Alaska Sales and Service roof top and call in from his mobile radio any suspicious activity.

Ted kept is radio gear and license active, often finding time to contact old friends while curising on a family boat.

CQ, CQ, CQ, this is KL7CCI, Cold, Chilly and Icy signing off. 

73 Ted.
