KICKER: NO NEED TO DECODE A SON'S DEVOTION

STEPHEN/ANCHOR: We end this week's report with a story about an event 
that's not just a special event station but a tribute to a father from 
his son. Randy Sly, W4XJ, picks up the story from here.

RANDY: Herb Goodluck, N7HG, grew up knowing that his father had served 
with the Marines during WWII, but that was all. Then, in 1968, when the 
mission was declassified, he and his family first learned that John V. 
Goodluck was one of the famous Navajo Code Talkers, who used their native 
language to craft a messaging system that defied decryption by the enemy. 
Herb gradually heard more and more stories of his father's efforts in the 
war's Pacific theater, enlarging his appreciation for their risks and 
contribution to winning the war.

When his father died in 2000, Herb, who had earned his amateur radio 
license in 1996, wanted to do something special to honor him and preserve 
the legacy of all who had been a part of the Code Talkers. "I was so 
proud of my father," he told Amateur Radio Newsline, "and wanted to give 
him - and all of them - something in return." So, in 2004, he reserved 
N7C as the callsign for the first annual Special Event to take place 
around August 14, which is Navajo Code Talkers Day.

Eighteen years later, this devoted son still honors the legacy of his 
father and his fellow Code Talkers. This year's special event will run 
from August 10 through the 14th. You can contact the station using phone, 
CW and FT-8 on 40, 20 and 17 meters. Additional information can be found 
in the QRZ.com listing for N7C.

For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Randy Sly, W4XJ.
