I pass along this sad news, reported on the Moon-net reflector, but equally 
 appropriate here:

I'm saddened to report that Steve Powlishen K1FO passed  away late this
afternoon Saturday 28 Jul 2012.  We'll pass along further  details once we
have them.  Our thoughts are with Lori his XYL.

Steve K1FO (and formerly WA1FFO) developed not only the very  popular VHF 
antennas that bear his call and were sold by Rutland Arrays, C3i,  and 
Directive Arrays, but also the very highly regarded Lunar Link Amplifiers,  which 
used (in most cases) a pair of 3CX800s on 144, 222 and 432 MHz. Steve was  a 
meticulous builder, an experimenter, and was making EME contacts before he 
was  out of his teens.
He will be sorely missed.
