JOHN CORNWELL, NC8V, SK

Longtime ACARA member John Cornwell, NC8V, passed away at his home after a long illness on Friday, February 1. He was 70. John was an active club member and supporter of many projects over the years and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. John McCutcheon, N8XWO, spoke at NC8V's memorial service about John's contribution to our club and the amateur radio community. You can view John's remarks by clicking here.
