The Navajo Code Talkers special event's station, N7C, goes on the air tonight (8pm eastern) and will run through the 19th. Sadly, this news from Arizona adds a special meaning this year-
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — One of the last remaining Navajo Code Talkers has died.
Samuel Sandoval’s wife, Malula, says he died late Friday at a hospital in Shiprock, New Mexico. He was 98.
Hundreds of Navajos were recruited from the vast Navajo Nation to serve as Code Talkers during World War II. Sandoval’s death leaves three still alive today.
The code that was based on the then-unwritten Navajo language confounded Japanese military cryptologists and helped the U.S. win the war.
The Code Talkers are celebrated annually on Aug. 14, the date the Japanese surrendered. Malula Sandoval said her husband had been looking forward to the celebration.

The Ohio QSO Party is an opportunity for amateur radio operators around the world to celebrate the great state of Ohio. It is always held on the 4th Saturday of August (the 27th- this year). Founded by N8VW, the Ohio QSO Party allows amateurs outside the state of Ohio to make contact with as many Ohio stations as possible. Non-Ohio stations may work only Ohio stations, while Ohio stations may contact anyone.
If you are a ham we invite you to explore the Ohio QSO Party website site The Ohio QSO Party™ | A QSO Party the way a QSO Party should be. You’ll find the rules, past scores, planned operations for this year’s event, scoring records and more.
If you’re not a ‘ham’ and this sounds like a foreign language to you, please visit the American Radio Relay League web site. The ARRL site has resources that explain amateur radio and how you can become licensed and join in the fun. We frequently have licensing exams right here in Massillon.
