[John Barcroft]

I hope that you had a chance to meet Phil at some point along the way.
Better yet that you had a chance to go with him on one of those trips where
he operated from each of the 40 zones. I did, and and he always made it a
better experience for his being there. Always energetic. Always upbeat. The
man knew how to have a good time

We may find someone else to give us that rare NM multiplier, but Phil was
one of a kind.

John, K6AM
