Announcements
Keneth (Joe) Brown N5PDQ passed on 04/29/2013 @ approximately 11:30 pm central time. This was with a long battle with cancer that took him. Joe was a good guy and a good ham and will be missed and never forgotten. Joe will be cremated and his ashes distributed into the angelina river as by his request; according to his brother Steve Brown. Many of us knew and respected Joe and we will all feel a loss at his passing.
Dangerus Dave K5DDM had this to say about Joe
The pictures attached to this email are from
various hamfest and our field days up here at Jasper. Some were from
the Jasper air show, and Joe was a big RC Airplane guy, and also was a
pilot at one time. He loved ham radio, and was always fun to talk to on
the air. He collected antique radios, and one is on display at one of
the city museums in downtown Jasper. He was an antenna builder,
and also quite a project builder. We had three "Joe's" in the
Jasper club, so I named them "General Joe", (KE5NYS), "Kirbyville Joe",
(K5JEP) , and "River Joe", N5PDQ. That name seemed to stick , and
we all referred to him as River Joe, because he lived on the river, and
loved it, and took well to the nickname. One of the photos
shows him shooting an "antenna launcher" built out of PVC pipe. It
worked well at our field day, and he then built me one, which I still
have and it works excellent. It was featured one year in QST(where he
got the idea) and he immediately started
building them with his personal mods which made them cheaper but better. He was
good at it. He also built numerous antennas, and was always on the cutting edge
of that sort of thing. He was a VE (ARRL) , and was the driving force for
the Jasper club to set up testing. He helped every new Ham in the Jasper
Club( in recent years) get started, and would loan them antennas and
radios till they could get going. He was a big part of our club, and will
be missed greatly.
