I had many of Gil's art work in my QST callection. I also got the
publication ARRL put out a few years ago with much of his stuff in it. He
had the touch. And I remember John Troster's tongue-in-cheek articles too.
W6ISQ?? I think. I miss those too. Just think, the youngsters of today
have these'good ol' days' we're experiencing right now to remember fondly.
Later all, Gotta go re-read my Gil cartoon book..
Gil (No relation) W1RG
