(Sayville, NY May 16, 2022) – John Ferguson, K3PFW, of Georgetown,
Delaware, has been named CQ magazine's Emergency Communications Editor, CQ Editor Rich Moseson, W2VU, announced today. The post has been vacant for several months.
Ferguson holds an Extra Class license and has been a ham since 1962. He
says emergency communication is in his blood, noting that his father had
been the RACES Radio Officer for the town in northeastern Pennsylvania
where he grew up. Ferguson says EmComm has been his primary ham radio
interest from the start, and he was involved in communications response as
a teen for several floods of the Susquehanna River.
Currently Auxiliary Communications Leader (ACL) for the AUXCOMM program at
the Sussex County, Delaware, emergency operations center, Ferguson has previously served in many roles in ARES and RACES, including as ARRL
Section Emergency Coordinator for Delaware. "One way or another," he
says, "I've been the amateur radio contact for the EOC since the mid-80's." "John has had a lifetime focus on emergency and disaster communications,"
noted CQ Editor Rich Moseson, W2VU, adding, "We are grateful for his willingness to share his knowledge and experience with CQ readers."
Ferguson hopes those readers will want to be active participants in the column, noting, "I will strive to make the column responsive to the
readers. I will solicit their ideas for topics and answer questions that
appear to be of general interest."
Ferguson's first column appears in the June, 2022, issue of CQ.
