ready for SS. Mary says he fell 60 feet.

Very sad news. W0AIH built an incredible station in the black hole. There are
youtube videos of his larger Yagis. From P40A I worked his station on multiple
bands in every DX contest. I sold Paul an antenna once and he was a very nice
guy and will be sorely missed.
RIP
