[SBE16-Seattle] Ron Rackley SK

[Aldrich, Brady]

I had the pleasure of observing Ron at work fairly early on in my career, when he tuned the output filter (of his design) at KOMO-AM on Vashon. It was a long night, but watching his consummate professionalism at work is something to behold. As I remember Bob Holcomb, Tim Moore and Trent Shepard were also present.

Ron Rackley, a luminary of the U.S. broadcasting engineering community, has died. Rackley passed away Friday at his home in Florida, according to an announcement by the Association of Federal Communications Consulting Engineers, of which he was a former president.






I never had a change to work with him on a project (That would have been  #1 in my Bucket List)
However we did chat many times at NAB

He was closely associated with Hatfield and Dawson, here in Seattle,  and left his mark at some  call letters you would recognize.

If you have a Rackley Story, please do pass it on.

He was a pioneer,  legend and giant in our industry
