The Sarasota Emergency Radio Club (SERC) honors the memory of our Silent Keys—dedicated amateur radio operators who contributed to both the hobby and the mission of emergency communications in our community. Their passion for service, technical expertise, and commitment to supporting Sarasota during critical moments have left a lasting impact on our club and those we serve. As we remember their contributions, we also aim to assist their loved ones in navigating the process of managing any amateur radio equipment left behind. For guidance on evaluating, selling, or donating equipment, we recommend visiting SilentKeys.org, a resource dedicated to supporting families during these times.
