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

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.

The Web" ( http://www.CQPublicService.blogspot.com) and "Trail-Friendly

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.'

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."
