My name is Charles Pascal, Call sign WB6CIY.  My wife Heidi Pascal KD6KEK is the main ARRL member and I’m on her family plan.
I want to report the passing of a skillful ham operator, K6FCC, Khalil Ladjevardi. Khalil held the Amateur Extra Class license and was proficient with radio theory and digital communications.
Khalil passed away on March 25, 2023 at age 69.  
His contribution to Amateur radio occurred through his extensive volunteer work of over 20,000 hours during a 30-year time of active operation. Many of his awards are listed over the Internet. K6FCC received numerous awards for his contributions.
Khalil was an active member of C Cares Culver City’s Amateur Radio disaster group.

In 1993, K6FCC was one of the first founding members of the Beverly Hills Amateur Radio Disaster communications group.  Khalil assisted in teaching Amateur radio, provided his time for installation of equipment and participation in disaster drills. New members could always count on Khalil for help in programming new radios.  He never charged newly licensed Amateurs for this service. 
Khalil also volunteered for the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the Military Amateur Radio Service, which is known as MARS.  
Khalil received several awards from the L A Sheriff’s Office, from the Fire Department, West Side Police Department, and other radio clubs for his active volunteer work.
K6FCC also was active with the Southern California Scanners Association and the West Side Amateur Radio club.
In addition to all these activities, Khalil owned and operated a repeater on 145.280, which was used for disaster communications and to promote Ham Radio.  The repeater is currently at KCRW’s FM station site in Santa Monica.
I’ve been teaching Amateur Radio for 40 years.  Khalil was my teaching assistant for 30 successful years.
During the years from 1992 through 1995, Khalil volunteered for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department
