Silent Key Notice: KD0UST – Remembering Chip Johnson

It is with heavy hearts we share that our friend and fellow Ham Radio Operator, Chip Johnson (KD0UST), passed away on June 30, 2025.

Chip, known online as anglicanfatherchip, served his community both as a devoted pastor and as an active member of the Hot Springs Amateur Radio Club. Over the past four years, Chip has been a steadfast supporter, volunteer, and Elmer — always stepping up to teach, assist, or serve when called upon. He was among the first to raise his hand to help mentor youth in our club’s educational outreach.

Funeral Services will be held:

  • 📅 Thursday, July 10th at 10:00 AM

  • 📍 Bethesda Lutheran Church
      1537 Baltimore Ave., Hot Springs, SD

Chip’s voice may be silent on the airwaves, but his spirit and example will resonate in our club for years to come.
