The callsign of Walter Carlington, VP9KD could be heard often at the family home in Bermuda when his son, Scott, was growing up. Walter, who became licensed in March of 1978, became devoted early on to operating in CW but soon added the joys of SSB to his repertoire.
Walter became a Silent Key at home on the 11th of March. According to his son, he had been diagnosed with cancer. The retired mechanical engineer belonged to the Radio Society of Bermuda, the International Sideband Society and the OMIK [OH MIKE] Amateur Radio Association, where his fist and his voice were well-known on a number of the group’s nets.
He had also been net director for the Friendly CARIBUS Connection Net on 2 metres.
Walter was 81.
