   ARLX004 Nevada Section Manager Gary Grant, K7VY (SK)   
      
   ARRL Nevada Section Manager Gary Grant, K7VY, of Reno, died February   
   1, after a period of ill health. He was 78. Grant was a native of   
   Glendale, California, and was licensed in 1956.   
      
   During his more than 50 years of ARRL membership, Grant served in   
   several Field Organization positions, including Official Observer   
   and OO Coordinator, Volunteer Examiner, and Assistant Section   
   Manager. Grant was appointed Section Manager last year to fill the   
   remaining term of SM Joe Giraudo, N7JEH, who stepped down because of   
   increased business travel and recommended Grant to succeed him. That   
   term ends June 30.   
      
   Grant had enjoyed an extensive career in broadcast engineering and   
   previously worked for Collins Radio in Iowa and California. In 1962   
   began work as a TV engineer for KCRL and KRNV in Reno, a job he   
   continued for 30 years before taking a position with the University   
   of Nevada-Reno. He retired from UNR in 2000 after 23 years of   
   service. Grant also once owned Sierra Electronics, a two-way radio   
   company.   
      
   In addition to the ARRL, Grant was a member of the Quarter Century   
   Wireless Association and the University of Nevada-Reno Radio Pack.   
      
   Survivors include his wife, Elizabeth, and their two children.   
      
   The position of Nevada Section Manager will be filled by   
   appointment.
