[CQ-Contest] N4PN

I always remember Paul for his somewhat unique on air style. November four
papa november from Bibb County Georgia. It was always a pleasure to listen
to him run a pileup. He could keep it going and going smoothly.

I remember meeting him the first time at DX dinner. It was a highlight for
me. Always enjoy meeting notable voices on the air. He was definitely one.
