Ron VK7VDL Silent Key

I first met Ron some years ago at Meet the Voice at Ross.

He came up to me, introduced himself and said, ΓÇ£Here is a

little present for you Cedric, I heard you on the net a few

months ago when you were mourning the loss of a 6 inch

Faber Castell slide rule. Well I would like you to have this

oneΓÇ¥. Such was RonΓÇÖs generosity that he refused any payment

and I still have the slide rule and use it to keep the hand in.

A couple of other hard to get bits came my way from Ron all

with the same price tag. One is a dummy load built in his

typical solid style, works like a dream and has never let me

down. Also I acquired from Ron a silver plated SO239 tee

piece.

His power supplies were said to be examples of first class

home brewing and always well over specifications for the job.

For example, if you needed a 20Amp supply to do the job Ron

would build you a 40 Amp Supply and so on.

The Ron philosophy was, and rightfully so, if it was twice as

strong as it needed to be it was under half the load and should

never give you issues.

It was not uncommon during a conversation with Ron whether

it be on air or off talking about one thing and another, as we

do, for Ron to come back with something totally out of left

field like, the value of a resistor he was going to use to

complete a circuit, or what size capacitor he has needing to

complete a project.

I think our conversations must have been a little boring for

him and that sort of comment was RonΓÇÖs way of changing the

subject. Those of us who knew him in the amateur radio

community just grinned to ourselves, for we accepted him as

is, and he us.

Ron was a straight shooter type of guy, not a lot of grey with

Ron for when he made his mind up it was written in stone

unless proven otherwise

Finally, Ron loved helping people when he could, and he did

frequently. I guess there are few amateurs who have not been

on the receiving end of RonΓÇÖs generosity at some time in the

past.
