11 Mar 2010. With great sadness, I regret to inform that Patricia (Trish) Elaine Gibbons WA6UBE (SK) died in the arms of her spouse last night, of an apparent cardiac problem, while she was out at a coffeehouse get-together with friends.

Elaine is very well-known for her "armyradios" group and her activities in the field of radio communications. She was an avid enthusiast of mil radios, encryption, rifles, spy books, and 3d virtual worlds. Elaine had retired from a 30+ year career in Public Safety Communications in Silicon Valley, California.

Elaine is survived by her wife, Ms. Carla Satra, and her brother. Memorial plans are not announced yet.

She and Carla, her loving partner of 23 years, were one of the few couples who wed when California initially legalized gay marriage in 2008.

I will always remember the twinkle in her eyes whenever Elaine was around radios, her life's passion. Her kind gentle spirit and outgoing personality touched all those around her. We will miss her deeply.

WA6UBE, your signal will go on forever.
