[CQ-Contest] W7RM SK

[K3BU@aol.com]

Sorry to hear about the departure of another giant and beacon in contesting.
His antennas were big enough, they came down in a storm.
When we think 7, it was W7RM.

RIP Rush, condolences to family!

I am sure many tributes will follow, but as one who knew Rush very well 
during his glory years at Foul Weather Bluff, I must say that it was an honor to 
have grown up in contesting at the helm of his station, and at his side on many 
a tower. He put together a potent antenna farm at one of the premier locations 
in North America, and re-shaped contesting in the USA for many years. Big 
Yagis up high and four-vertical arrays on Puget Sound. . .what an effort! The 
first-place finishes his station made in DX contests were among the last ever 
recorded from the West Coast, and may turn out to be the last ever.

Thanks, Rush, for many a good time. . .lots of cheers and tears, and above 
all plenty of Dozos on 15 meters!
