[SCCC] Fw: N6ZZ, SK

[Dennis Younker NE6I]

Back in the mid 1980's, I had the opportunity to rub elbows with Phil at a 
couple of SCCC multi-op gigs.  Phil was a great guy and a lot of fun to hang 
out with at these things. He was always very helpful, even to us guys who 
were new to MM'ing and MS'ing.

BTW, I found this shot of Phil at the SCCC's XE2SI operation in 1983 (see 
bottom of picture). Thanks to N6NB and his web pages for this shot.

(Note: you'll recognize some other very famous SCCC operators in those 
pictures.)

Phil, see you on the other side....

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.
