ORIGINAL CHARTER SIGNERS
& CHARTER MEMBERS
In Loving Memory of Our Charter Silent Keys
On Feb 7, 1977 many amateurs, under the guidance of our Original Charter Signers and our Charter President, Howie Gould, W4NVF at the time, W9HG more recently before his passing on Jan 4, 2008, began what has become a tradition and a world class organization in the form of The 3905 Century Club. To all of these hams who created the Club we so enjoy - our Original Charter Signers and Charter Members - our eternal thanks.
According to Centurion Vol 1, No. 1, there were 128 Charter Members. As of Feb 7, 2010 only 112 Charter Members are listed here. Your help in filling in the missing names, call signs, locations, status will be appreciated. Ideal information would include call sign, name, address, status and the source for this information.
