Really sad to hear about our old friend, Dale Jones.
Gator was correct, Dale's call in CA was W6GEN--that's the time I got to know
him. He was there working for General Dynamics as an RF Design engineer for
guided missel work. I met him through a life-long friend of mine from Duluth
who went to GD, also. My pal said he often got QSL's from exotic locations
with only a fuzzy recollection of working the guy! It seems Dale had so much
fun getting the good ones, he often threw in a few extra calls just for good
measure.
Had a nice chat with him during the last phone SS (I think)--he was QRP, but
that great radio voice came through beautifully.
I always thought, as a cw op, he rated right up there with the very best.
