Don and I were kindred spirits, as we shared Canadian suffixes and
heritage... We kept bumping into each other, from HF through VHF/UHF on
the air in contests,
and finally we met in person at Dayton, where we had a fantastic time.
Thought I never had an opportunity to operate with him at his station, I
know he was an excellent station host, and always had a whopping signal on
the bands.
I'll miss him.
RIP Don. Rest Well. Dit Dit
73,
Gerry, VE1RM / W1VE
