Wes
Schum, W9DYV, also passed away in late September. You may not know his name,
but you most likely are familiar with his work. According to Newsline,
Schum is considered the father of single-sideband in amateur radio. As founder
of Central Electronics in 1949, he and colleague Joe Batchelor developed the CE
10-A, the first practical amateur SSB transmitter. Schum was 94.
