Columbia University Amateur Radio Club

10/22/2025

It is with sadness that I belatedly share news of the passing of John Kiernan, KE2UN. John was a friend, mentor, and active member of the Columbia University Amateur Radio Club VE team, regularly participating in our former in-person and, since the pandemic, zoom VE exams. He was a huge help when we rehabbed the rooftop tower many years ago. And, of course, the Marathon and other NYC events dating back decades.
