The local amateur radio community cames together to honor a special member.
The Western Reserve Amateur Radio Club hosted its annual post-holiday dinner meeting in Canfield Sunday.
The meeting had another purpose, to present Mike Austin of Warren with long range ham equipment that speaks.
Austin?is visually impaired and just passed his test to be a general class operator.
Unfortunately,?he was sick but the club had nothing but good things to say about his contributions.
"He's a very very key radio operator here in the Valley because he's, for someone whose visually impaired, he's the Network Control Operator, he is there and he's available and this piece of equipment that we want to present him with today would extend his reach beyond just the Valley," said Vice President of the Western Reserve Amateur Radio Club, Robert Webster.
The club spent about a year raising the money to buy the equipment.
