Friday, May 18th, 2018, at 1:00 PM club members attened the services at Arlington National Cemetery for Holly Bevan, N3MB (SK).  The Navy Color Guard (shown above) performed their duties flawlessly while the Chaplain spoke of the wonderful life Holly share with so many of us.

Armed Forces Day was Saturday May 12th 2018.  On that single day of the year, hams and military operators are allowed to converse on the radio   This is split frequency operation at it's best.  The Military stations used military frequencies not far from the ham bands, as posted online.  They announced the amateur radio frequencies on which they listened for replies.  A complete list of the Military operations from the event can be downloaded here

From Doug/NA1DX:

Holly N3MB (Silent Key) will be interred in the Columbarium at Arlington National Cemetery with military honors on Friday the 18th of May at 1300 local.

We are expecting more details from the family shortly.

More information is available on the https://www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/Funerals/Funeral-Schedule/Search-by-Name?lastname=beven Website.
