N1NUT – Ed Nutter – Silent Key

We regret to announce the recent passing of Ed Nutter – N1NUT on December 13, 2022. Ed was a lifetime member of the Nashville Amateur Radio Club and a U.S. Army Vietnam War veteran.

Ed made countless contributions to the Nashville Amateur Radio Club over his many years as a member. His contributions included various financial and equipment donations as well as valuable liaison work on behalf of the club with various local government bodies and agencies such as the Nashville Davidson Metro Council, Office of Emergency Management, Parks Department, Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, Tennessee Highway Patrol, and several charitable partners. Ed loved ham radio and thoroughly enjoyed participating with his fellow amateurs in club-sponsored events such as Field Day, tailgate parties, the Altamont Horseback Ride, Multiple Sclerosis Walk Nashville, and several public service bike rides in the Nashville and Middle Tennessee areas. His large personality and strong leadership skills served the club and its members well during his multiple terms as Club President. Ed was the World-Famous Nut Man and the self-proclaimed No. 1 Nut and will be deeply missed. We honor Ed for his friendship and salute him for his service to our club and to his country. We extend our deepest sympathies to Ed’s family and ask that all members and friends join us in keeping them in our hearts and prayers as they navigate this immense loss.

A final radio call for N1NUT will be conducted during the Nashville Amateur Radio Club Incorporated Information Net at 7:30pm on January 2, 2023 on the 147.015 AF4TZ repeater.
