One of my Elmers (and Ham Radio Outlet senior executive, ham software designer
and legendary DXer), Jim Rafferty, N6RJ, died from skin cancer several years
ago. I miss Jim's friendship and our hobby suffers from his passing.
I mention this in "Tower Talk" as Jim felt that a severe sunburn he suffered
while installing antennas on a topical DXpedition (KH5K if my memory serves)
may have contributed to his skin cancer.
With antenna season coming up, let's remember to break out the sunscreen and
hats. And if you're my age (46) or older, regular visits to the dermatologist
are a good idea.
