A Great Radio Guy Goes Silent

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that James Boyd K7MKN passed away yesterday (Friday 5/20/22), of a heart attack, at his home.  In ham-speak he’s now a “Silent Key.”

James was a brilliant engineer, a gentleman, a fast friend, and one of our cadre of engineer allies that make the Jiveradio signals propagate into the aether. He helped us at Grizzly (KJIV) and Stacker Butte (KJYV) until very recently. He was a radio operator in the worst of the Viet Nam War (repeatedly sprayed & burned with Agent Orange) and came back to be one of the most respected field engineers in the Pacific Northwest. Jivelandia was lucky to have him in our sphere.

R.I.P. James Alan Boyd.

dropouts? Do YOU hear ’em?

Sorry again, there is a ghost in the new machine causing intermittent dropouts on the KJIV stream. ACK!

DO YOU HEAR THEM? Approximately how often and what device?  Please write me: laz@jiveradio.org

We have our crack technical crew on it’s trail. Hang with us. If it’s annoying you too much, the KDAN.FM stream is solid and carries all the same great Jive-assed shows you’re used to.
