> Indianapolis Radio Club president Tom Chance, K9XV, put it.  We have 
> learned that Paul Bohrer, W9DUU, passed away on the evening of 
> December 21st.  As Tom put it, "He will be remembered as one of the 
> most progressive people to introduce VHF and UHF repeater systems and 
> ATV in the Indianapolis area.  From the first 34/76 to the many 
> repeater systems today, he linked the community."  Tom Weber, KC9GMJ, 
> of the WISH-TV engineering department, wrote:  "Most all of you know 
> that Paul had been a pre-eminent engineer here in Indy for about 45 
> years, most of them with WTTV-4 (and later WTTK-29 as well), and the 
> last 15 or so with WISH-8.  He was also a fixture in the Ham Radio 
> Community for even longer than that.  We've all lost a tremendous 
> resource, and a plain old good person."
