[CQ-Contest] JT1BG SK

[Bob Wruble]

May he RIP ..... he was a "fixture" for a very long time and
will be missed!  Always a thrill to work JT/Zone 23 in any contest and he
was the source for a very long time!  For as long as I can remember and I
have been at it since 1953.... de GG

>   So long good friend.  I'm grateful for the opportunity to have known
you.
