CQ Columnist Dave Ingram, K4TWJ, SK

It is with great sadness that we report that our friend and longtime colleague, Dave Ingram, K4TWJ, became a Silent Key this morning (Jan. 20), as a result of complications from a massive heart attack he suffered on New Year's Eve.

Dave has been writing for CQ at least since 1981 and has been a CQ columnist since 1982, starting with an amateur television column called World of Video.
That column eventually broadened its outlook and became World of Ideas, Dave's signature monthly column in CQ.

Regular topics included code keys, stealth antennas, building "new vintage" tube gear and mobiling. In addition, for the past decade, Dave has been CQ's QRP (low power) Editor and "How it Works" columnist. His enthusiasm for whatever caught his interest was contagious and spread widely through his informal yet educational writing style.

Funeral arrangements are not complete as of this writing. We will post additional information on the CQ website news page when it becomes available.

Condolence cards may be sent to Dave's wife, Sandy, WB4OEE, at their Callbook address.

Sandy, WB4OEE, has asked that contributions in Dave's memory be made to the American Heart Association

73,
