Title: W5YI (SK) Post by: k4kyv on March 31, 2012, 06:20:36 PM Frederick (Fred) Maia, W5YI, died of cancer Wednesday, March 28. He was 76 and was a resident of Arlington, Texas. Maia was most noted for publishing “The W5YI Report,” dubbed “America’s Oldest Ham Radio Newsletter,” from 1978 to 2003. Like other ham radio paper newsletters, it fell by the wayside as the internet became the primary source of news and information of interest to the amateur radio community.
