This really hurts, losing Earl one of the top band greats. He was always
experimenting with new ideas. I still have one of those 3 foot diameter loops
in
use that Earl pioneered in the 1970's. Still works great. I made one from a
design that Earl sent me which I used to null out the 1900 kc Loran enough so
I could hear the JAs and to work them on 1910 KH. A shunt fed vertical I
built to Earls design was my best ever topband antenna ever. Lots of pleasant
memories I have of 160 meters back in the early 1970s that I have Earl W5RTQ
to
thank for. He will be missed but I will never forget him. W0NFL, Jim,
Ames, Iowa.
