Ray and YARA activites

Ray Fugard known as "Radio Ray", not from his amateur radio activities, but because when he lived in Dawson City, was a volunteer who helped start the Dawson community radio station, was station manager, and DJ. He loved his music. He was a member of YARA for about 20 years volunteered as volunteer race co-ordiator, calling the Emmergency Preparedness Net, and helping on other projects. Ray was also the "Mile Post" of radio, helping visiting hams with information about lodges, gas stations and points of interest, and was on-call to assist with emergencies.
