[SCCC] K3ZO

[Don Minkoff]

So sorry to hear this.

  I first met Fred in Chang Mai, Thailand, 1969, while I was in the Air 
Force.  He let me use his station while he went to work.  Saw him every 
year in Visalia.  One heck of an operator and in every contest.

As LU5HFI he was attacked by terrorists and came within inches of passing away. Many of us had the opportunity to chat with Fred in Visalia.  He came every year.  He is a giant of contesters. 73, Kurt W6PH
