The Avaya Lincroft Amateur Radio club is
open to employees and retirees of Avaya Inc. in
Our station is a memorial station. The
callsign W2IMU was previously held by silent key Dick Turrin an AT&T Bell
Labs employee and an extremely talented, dedicated and active amateur radio
operator. Click
here to see pictures of Dick. Dick
was a well-known and respected member of the AT&T Bell Laboratories Amateur
Radio club. Dick has had several articles published in QST and Ham Radio
Magazine over the years as well as making contributions to the ARRL Antenna
Handbook. His published articles span the years 1950 through 1986 and include
topics such as morse code keying, antenna performance measurements, UHF
directional couplers, power amplifiers, and broad band balun transformers. Dick
invented and patented the dual mode feed horn for use on parabolic dish
antennas which is still popular and in use today. Dick is also said to be the
inventor of a unique CW key called the "Tur-Key" which was featured
in a December 1952 QST article. The Avaya Lincroft Amateur Radio Club is proud
to be a memorial to remember Dick's many accomplishments. Click

company sponsored activities from time to time.
