I am so sad to let you know that Ted Fleischman, W0TTN passed away on Monday.  

Ted was licensed in the early 1950's as WN0TTN and upgraded to General while still a teen ager. He enjoyed VHF/UHF voice and PSK and enjoyed using what he knew in supporting our KC Northland ARES group.  On HF he mostly operated PSK and JT65 on his FT-897D using a Mosley Tri Bander (20/15/10) or the Comet 250b with 10 watts or less. 

Ted retired from Trans World Airlines in 1998 and enjoyed sailing, radio & putsing around with his wife, Annie (KD0ABZ) doing what they wanted, whenever they wanted.  

Authored by W0DLK

Thank You Deb,

Annie our prayers are with you and your family,  I will miss Ted greatly.
