Club Silent Keys


Silent Key (SK) is a respectful term used in Amateur Radio to refer to an operator who had passed away. The phrase originates from Morse code, where "SK" is the procedural signal for "end of work," signifying that the operator's radio key will no longer be heard.

Below are a few club members and operators who are now a Silent Key. This page is dedicated to them.
