Assunto: [CQ-Contest] N4PN
I met Paul on the air several years before meeting him in person at Dayton
Hamvention 2007. Me and K5ER were doing the Louisiana QSO Party as a rover.
About 15 minutes before the contest started, I had called CQ and Paul answered.
He asked what parishes we planned to activate in the 12 hours, and how much
driving versus operating we were going to do.
We exchange that info, and when the contest started, N4PN was the first call
in the log for each parish as we drove our route. On the occassions we'd stop
and set up a better antenna, Paul held the frequency for us and took lists for
us; then he'd be first in the log and pass the list to us. It was a great day.
I wrote about that experience in 2005:

And here's a great photo of me, K5ER and N4PN at Dayton 2009:

Another fine gentleman, and a friend now gone to the eternities.
