The Venture Out Ham Radio club recently celebrated the life of one of its members, Paul, with a silent key ceremony.

| Paul's daughter and friends from within Venture Out joined for the moving ceremony. |
The silent key ceremony is a last time that the club calls out the call-sign of the deceased member, and when there is no response after 3 attempts, the call-sign is declared as a "silent key" (from previous times when radio operators were "keying" with Morse code and now their "key" is silent).
