Silent Key - KOD-4190
Betty Lee Halbert wife of LeeRoy Halbert former KOD-4190 long time CB'ers
passed away last night. With her husband LeeRoy KOD-4190 was one of the pinnacle and most widely heard stations in central New Jersey for four decades.. For more than four decades Betty monitored channel 19 assisting thousands of drivers with daily road reports. It wasn't uncommon during the 60's & 70's for Betty and LeeRoy to help stranded motorists and truckers in their area. On more than one occasion Betty was honored by local governments for her assistance in communications when CB was in it's prime. From their shack of two Browning Golden Eagles and two five element vertical beams using only legal power they established a following of national listeners. In the mid seventies the singer Chubby Checker paid a visit to Betty after assisting when his tour bus broke down on Rt. 35 in NJ. Betty and LeeRoy exchanged thousands of QSL cards throughout the word and was recognized by the late Senator and Amateur Radio Operator Barry Goldwater as fine examples of the radio community. Faithfully, a friend, and family member, recalling what CB radio used to be. |
