[CQ-Contest] K4BAI Story in Local Paper

[Dick Stepanian]

Jeff,
   Thanks for sharing the article.  I don't know John personally but we did
shake hands one day several years ago at Dayton - recognizing one anothers
calls from various contests.  Truly a gentleman on the air as well...often
a did-dit or "Hi Dick" during a contest.  Great to hear and read of the
respect and honor given to him by his community - where people see him
regularly and have opportunity to rub elbows with him.  Character and
integrity - great virtues - glad he represents us well.

   Well done John!!

73,
Dick - W6TK
