Stan Burghardt, W0IT (ex-W0BJV), of Watertown, South Dakota, died
August 22. He was 93. He was the founder of Burghardt Radio Supply
Inc (now Burghardt Amateur Center). Licensed in 1931 as W9BJV
(which became W0BJV in 1946), Burghardt remained active on the
air--especially on 6 meters--until his death. He also had been
active in satellite work and was a member of ARRL, AMSAT and
SMIRK. Burghardt started out selling ham radio parts in 1937 and
in the 1950s expanded his Watertown operation into a popular
Amateur Radio equipment supplier. The company has been a regular
QST advertiser for the past 50 years, and many early ads featured
a photo of Burghardt with his signature. Burghardt sold the
business to Jim Smith, W0MJY, but he remained active in the
company until January 2002. A service was held September 1.
