After the shock of reading about Jack, I cried. As a teenage NCDXC member
over 50 years ago, Jack was always very gracious to this punk DX'er back
then. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met, and we also had
periodic eyeball QSOs when I later attended San Jose State (Jack took some
classes there for fun). His QST Columns were priceless. Jack was priceless.
Amateur Radio has not only lost a Legend, but a consummate Gentleman - both
on-air and off. I'm sure Jack has now appropriately been appointed Chief
Trustee of 'The Big Station In The Sky'.
Seven years ago, Jack personally encouraged me to 'GO-FOR-IT' and supported
my efforts in the longstanding quest for a P5 License. This week's Locust
QSO Party is hereby dedicated to Jack Troster, W6ISQ, with a Bonus NCJ
Subscription/Renewal award to be given out in his memory.
My thoughts and prayers are with Marguerite.
Rick, K 6 V V A * The Locust
