We have lost a dear friend. John McDowell KC8BAR born March 13, 1947 passed away on November 13, 2019 in Grand Rapids. John was an ever active BRAARC member that attend many club breakfasts, meetings and events. You could always count on John to make many Field Day contacts and to share his love of amateur radio, movie theaters, and antique electronics. John made many club endeavors possible, including the club repeater sites. We will miss his cheerful greetings and sage advice on all things club related. Obituary Silent Key
