Richard Moseson/W2VU, Editorial Director of CQ Communications, Inc., reports: "Richard Fisher, KI6SN, Named Editor of WorldRadio Online -- (Hicksville, NY January 20, 2010) ­ Veteran journalist and writer Richard Fisher, KI6SN, has been named Editor of WorldRadio Online, effective with the April issue, Publisher Richard Ross, K2MGA, announced today. Fisher will succeed Nancy Kott, WZ8C, who is stepping down.

Kott has been Editor of WorldRadio and WorldRadio Online for the past eight years, guiding the magazine through its transition a year ago from print to online publication. She announced her impending departure in the February issue, which was posted online today.

Fisher, 59, recently completed a 35-year career in newspaper print and online journalism in a variety of reporting, editing and management roles. He also has a 17-year association with WorldRadio, first joining the magazine in 1993 as its QRP (low power) columnist ­ a post he held until the magazine's transition from print to online in February 2009.

Fisher is currently a columnist for three magazines published by CQ Communications, Inc. In addition to his WorldRadio Online editing duties, he will continue to write the "Washington Beat" column for Popular Communications, the "Public Service" column for CQ Amateur Radio, and the "Trail-Friendly Radio" column for WorldRadio Online.

Fisher also manages two related Internet sites, "CQ Public Service On The Web" ( http://www.CQPublicService.blogspot.com) and "Trail-Friendly Radio Extra"

( http://www.TrailFriendlyRadio.blogspot.com).

He has been licensed 45 years, obtaining his Novice ticket in 1965 at age 14. Fisher is an Extra class licensee who enjoys CW, building has own gear, QRP, contesting, ragchewing, 2-meter FM simplex, antenna experimentation and outdoor operations. He is a co-founder of the Adventure Radio Society.

'The past year has been very exciting and very challenging for all of us as we have learned the logistics of online publishing,' commented CQ Communications Editorial Director Rich Moseson, W2VU. 'I have enjoyed working with Nancy through that process and I am sorry that she will be leaving. We wish Nancy all the best in her future endeavors.'

'I am confident that the magazine will continue to be in good hands,' Moseson added, 'and am looking forward to working even more closely with Richard Fisher than I already do in his hat as CQ Public Service Editor. He brings to the table not only an intimate knowledge of WorldRadio Online and its readers, but a wealth of experience in both print and online journalism that will benefit all of our publications.'

Fisher begins his new duties as Editor on January 25th."

SILENT KEY
Rich, W2VU, from CQ Magazine, reports: "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."
