[HQRP] Joe Carr, K4IPV Silent Key

[Ron L. Sparks]

Friends,
I don't know about you, but I have grown up reading hundreds of Joe Carr's
articles over the years and feel like I lost an old friend.  57 is too
young; pay attention to your health -- it's important to all of us.

Sadly,

Ron, AG5RS

NOTED AMATEUR RADIO AUTHOR JOE CARR, K4IPV, SK


Amateur Radio author Joseph J. "Joe" Carr, K4IPV, of Annandale, Virginia,
died November 25. He was 57. Carr reportedly died at home in his sleep.
An ARRL member, Carr had contributed hundreds of articles over the years to
various publications, including QST, Popular Electronics, 73, Nuts and Volts

numerous non-Amateur Radio related books as well.

Book publisher and author Harry Helms, AK6C, of LLH Technology Publishing
knew Carr personally and professionally for more than 20 years. "Joe was a
first-rate technical writer and editor, a consummate professional in his
craft, and a pleasure to work with," he said.

Carr's wife, Bonnie, survives.

I met Joe at a hamfest in New Hampshire years ago, and we talked about LF
for almost
an hour. Heck of a nice guy. Our prayers are with Bonnie.
