Original Charter Signers and Charter Members

In Loving Memory of Our Charter Silent Keys

On Feb 7, 1977 many amateurs, under the guidance of our Original Charter Signers and our Charter President, Howie Gould, W4NVF at the time, W9HG more recently before his passing on Jan 4, 2008, began what has become a tradition and a world class organization in the form of The 3905 Century Club.  To all of these hams who created the Club we so enjoy - our 11 Original Charter Signers and 113 Charter Members - our eternal thanks.

Additional details of our founding and early history are available in Centurion Vol 1, No. 1 from September 1979.
