Biography

Welcome to the "Ron Cheney Memorial Amateur Radio Club".

We are an internal unit of the Fraternal Order of Eagles # 4250 in Pinellas Park, FL. USA.

This club was founded to honor a great Past-President Ron Cheney (KF4NUM-SK) and at the time his Vice-President, Past-President Stephen Blackwelder (KF4NUL-SK) Steve came to us and came up with the idea to start a Memorial club in honor of Ron. So we started it, Steve (KF4NUL), Udo (KF4KUL), MJ (N2MJP), John (KU4BT)-SK and a few others. Sadly to say Steve (KF4NUL) never saw the end result, he passed away ...

FCC- ULS# 3612312 (our old original call was KM4BHP)
