Wyatt "Clarke" Cooper

Clarke loved flying as much as he did HAM radio discussions with people around the world. Clarke's experiences were the subjects of great storytelling and entertainment.

My heartfelt love goes out to Betty and Larry as well as all family who were close to him.

I did not have the good fortune to know Clarke, but I have just been advised of his passing. I am honored to have succeeded to his ham call. I have only been a ham since 2013 but received my Amateur Extra license in February 2019 and applied for and received the K8BP call. I have also enjoyed many of the activities which he enjoyed. My condolences to the family and his many, many ham friends. 73 Bill current K8BP de
