[SCCC] Fw: [cwops] FW: [PVRC] famed contester N6ND is SK

[Dennis Younker NE6I]

Oh wow, that's sad news. Rick invited me to his place for a multi-multi 
contest effort shortly after I moved to San Diego in 1989. It was much 
appreciated as I was obviously new to the area.

Rick OM, KB in the great contest in the sky!
