Radio Event in Serbian Parks Honours Pioneering Activator - SK
/Search for the name Goran Savić on YouTube and you will find some compelling memorial video tributes along with the YouTube channel maintained by the late Serbian military test pilot, showcasing some of the dramatic and ethereal views he captured from the cockpits of various planes.
The Air Force Major was known in the amateur radio community as YT2A and in the US as AD7JQ. The global ham community grieved when, in September 2012, he became a Silent Key in a plane crash. According to news reports, the tragic accident happened as, rather than eject, he steered the plane to avoid crashing into homes in a residential area.
Serbian hams most especially in the Worldwide Flora and Fauna community have not forgotten Goran. On Saturday 30th September, they worked international pileups during the annual memorial event for the family and outdoors man, who was also an active pioneer and advocate of the Flora and Fauna programme.
As always, there will be diplomas awarded, downloadable after the 1st of November -- and the friends of this much-loved Silent Key will begin planning their tribute for the 12th anniversary of his death in 2024.
