CHANGING OF THE GUARD: WORLDRADIO FOUNDER ARMOND NOBLE,
N6WR - SK
The changing of the guard in amateur radio continues with
the sad news that Armond Noble, N6WR, founder and publisher
of WorldRadio Magazine for 37 years has become a silent key.
According to Les Cobb, W6TEE, Noble died February 1st in
Sacramento, California after a short illness.
The print version of WorldRadio was published monthly from
July 1971 until the end of 2008, when N6WR sold the magazine
to Hicksville, New York-based CQ Communications, Inc.
Armond Noble had a long and distinguished career in
communications and the media. From 1953 to 1955 he served in
the U.S. Army with a VHF radio relay unit. He went on to
positions at commercial radio and TV stations around the
United States. These included KTWO-TV and KATI in Casper,
Wyoming; KOOK-TV, Billings, Montana; KTVB, Boise, Idaho;
KERO-TV, Bakersfield, California, WOOD-TV, Grand Rapids,
Michigan, and KCRA Radio in Sacramento.
During the Vietnam War, Noble was a reporter and
photographer for TIME magazine and the Milwaukee Journal. He
also served in the TIME-LIFE bureau in Sacramento,
California.
Armond Noble, N6WR, was reportedly hospitalized about two
months ago. As we go to air memorial services have not been
announced. (W6TEE, W6FJ, CQ Publishing)
