It is with great sadness to inform our membership that OARC Director Ralph Betts W4ORL has become a Silent Key. Ralph contributed to OARC in a number of ways other than being a Director and he will be truly missed.

This is sudden and a total shock to all those who have known Ralph for years. We do not have any details of how Ralph passed. We will not speculate on the cause and will wait for any official cause to be announced by the family.

In the meantime, please keep Ralph’s family in your thoughts and prayers.
