Fletcher Seagroves N1MEO-SK

[Nashua Area Radio Society]

Yesterday we at Nashua Area Radio Society learned that Fletcher Seagroves N1MEO passed and is now Silent Key. Lee KC1GKJ was Net Control for our Sunday Night Weekly VHF Repeater Net and asked for a moment of silence to recognize Fletcher. Fletcher was Former County Emergency Coordinator for Hillsborough County ARES and a past organizer of Hillsborough ARES Net.

Fletcher was also a former Nashua Area Radio Club member. In the March 2002 Club Bulletin Fletcher was listed as the

• Awards/QSL manager
• Field Day contact
• Secretary

I did not know Fletcher but based on my quick look online I can see that he made significant contributions to the ham radio hobby in many ways, including to our club. He and I were both former club secretaries, which, even though he is gone, gives us something to bond on beyond our mutual love of the hobby.

Fletcher was a 20 + years US Army vet. He was Sergeant First Class and he has lots of family members in the Milford area. There will be a funeral coming up in the next few days in the Milford NH area.

Thanks for the info Jon. Very sad news! I actually worked with Fletch for a number of years and he  was my first Elmer . I brought a weather alert radio I had just purchased to work he took a look at it and said if your interested in radio send that back and buy a ham radio a copy of Now Your Talking and i’ll help you study for the test. This was back in the early 90’s well before smart phones and their apps that you can practice taking the exam . Fletch downloaded practice tests and brought them to work I would take the test that night and give him the test the next day to correct rinse and repeat until one day he said i was ready to take the test.

Thanks Again Fletch
