Radio ham killed and another seriously injured in tower accident

As a group of South Dakota hams were dismantling a 110 foot tower outside of Hot Springs on Saturday, July 16, a gust of wind toppled the final section, trapping two local hams underneath.

The ARRL reports that Tim Anderson, K0OR, 54, and Tom Embree, NC0K, were transported to Rapid City Regional Hospital via helicopter, where Anderson died of his injuries. Embree underwent surgery on Sunday and is expected to have more on Wednesday; he remains in serious condition. 

Both are members of the Hot Springs Amateur Radio Club; Anderson was the club's president. 

Hot Springs is located about 57 miles south of Rapid City.
