Reg Linscott (W1LIC)

Reg Linscott was my dad. When he died in 1996 he had been licensed as W1LIC for 58 years. We enjoyed many chats on the radio over the years. Dad was an old CW man and used a Vibroplex bug right up to the end. He tried an electronic keyer once and realized it was not for him. He had a very distinctive fist on the bug. He was a great example to me that one can enjoy amateur radio with a very modest station. He was always a gentleman and courteous to everyone on the air. I am extremely proud to have his call and to keep it on the air for a few more years.
