> Very sad news today from the Pacific Northwest.  Rush Drake, W7RM had what
was probably the biggest multi-multi station on the West Coast back in the
1970s.  Multiple Sweepstakes and DX Contests were won from there.  Rush
himself absolutely loved contesting and amateur radio.  He was a true giant
among us -- a group we are loosing nowadays at a much too rapid rate.  Those
of us who were fortunate enough to have known Rush will miss him greatly.
