Connie Ballantyne, KB0ZSG, one of a few ladies on ham radio, but she
gave everything she had in the hobby. We were truly saddened to hear
of her passing, but all the wonderful memories of her will live on
forever...for all who met her, knew her, and worked her on the air.
A Tribute To Connie, KB0ZSG
Written By Daryl Stout, WX4QZ
1) In tribute to Miss Connie, I'm not sure where to start.
In life and in ham radio, both done with all her heart.
A virtuous woman, on the air, as fine rubies there.
Whenever she ran all her nets, she showed she really cared.
2) Her Dad a ham before her birth, so natural for her to be.
She loved to solder circuit boards, electronics there to see.
Involved in ARES, RACES, CERT, Skywarn Spotting, too.
Public Service communications, that she loved to do.
3) She started D-Star long ago, and on it, she got hooked.
The International D-Star Net, to find her, there you looked.
Echolink was done in her shack, along with other modes.
A joy to hear her on the air, on all the DX roads.
4) Appreciated all her Elmers, who helped her through the years.
It was a joy, on the all nets, when her voice, appeared.
It was truly sad the day, when we heard that she was gone.
But, her legacy, special there, forever, will live on.
5) If a title could be given, to Miss Connie, there.
The Queen Of D-Star, it would be, her joy, forever shared.
God Speed, Miss Connie, even though, you're now, SK.
We look forward to meet again, in Heaven's sky, someday.
