   Long-Time ARRL Southeastern Division Assistant Director Charles I.   
   "Chuck" Baer, W4ROA, of Sunrise, Florida, died March 7 after a   
   lengthy illness. He was 74. An ARRL member, Baer had served three   
   ARRL Southeastern Division directors over the years.   
      
   "Chuck and I have worked together for over 30 years with local ARRL   
   affairs," said ARRL Southern Florida Section Manager Jeff Beals,   
   WA4AW. "He was very active in the Broward County Amateur Radio   
   community."   
      
   Originally licensed KN9TVA in 1959 when he was 17, Baer worked at   
   Allied Radio in Chicago before moving to South Florida to work for   
   Motorola at the company's Plantation manufacturing facility.   
      
   "He led the team that produced the Amateur Radio gear for the Space   
   Shuttle program," said Beals. "Chuck was a founding member of the   
   Motorola Amateur Radio Club W4MOT and served as repeater trustee for   
   many years." Baer retired from Motorola after nearly 3 decades of   
   service.   
      
   Baer was a member of the South Florida DX Association, the Broward   
   Amateur Radio Club, the Palmetto Amateur Radio Club, and the   
   Everglades Chapter 69 of QCWA. He was active on the Southeast   
   Florida Traffic Net. He belonged to the ARRL A-1 Operators Club and   
   served as an ARRL Official Observer for more than 50 years in   
   Illinois and Florida.   
      
   Survivors include his son Mark, KF4MXS. A memorial service will be   
   held Tuesday, March 10, at noon, at the Star of David Memorial   
   Gardens and Chapel, 7801 Bailey Road in North Lauderdale.
