I was informed that Walt Zandi K1WZ passed away on July 31 after a five year battle with lung cancer. Walt was a friend to numerous club members, Mentored ham radio operators and an ARES member with us until his move to Washington State to be closer to family in 2016.

In honor of a distinguished elmer of the W7FLO Central Oregon Coast Amateur Radio Club with great sadness we announce the passing of Walt Zandi K1WZ-SK. A silent key ceremony for Walt will be held at the Wednesday August 5,2026 7:OOPM Herman Repeater Net 146.800mhz (tone100) and on Echo Link
My chair is sitting empty.
My call’s no longer heard.
My radio rests quietly.
From it comes no words.
On my shack door is a message.
That reads “From Me to Thee”.
My frequency’s much higher now.
I’ve become a Silent Key.
Rest Well you have earned your wings🙏 Condolences to Priscilla and all of his family and friends.
