Ken has been battling cancer but it finally won.
His family (wife Jan, previously Secretary to W G Gosewinckel, etc, ) is arranging a private funeral service.
He was in OTC Construction especially Satellite Earth Stations for many years and worked with Jim Robertson and Phil Humphries; all radio specialists.
Ken designed and supervised the construction of the Moree, Carnarvon and Ceduna satellite earth stations.
When he retired orm OTC he was probably Class 5 Engineer or above in the old terminology.

Thank you for passing on the sad news of Ken Howe’s death. He was I think the best boss that I ever had in OTC / Telstra. I am straining my brain to remember what was his final status. I was an E5 when I bailed out after OTC was ‘taken over’ so I think Ken may have been something above that.

While I did not work for Ken Howe directly on any project found when support information was needed it was readily provided in a very friendly professional manner.
