[Fourlanders] Steve K1FO SK

[Tom McElroy]

I'm glad you had the idea to do this.  I just recently became acquainted
with K1FO research thanks to Bob.

It would be nice if somebody used the donations to protect his intellectual
property
and let a whole new group of hams benefit from Steve's books and thoughts
and schematics, etc.
