[SEDXC] Sad Deal

[John Harden, D.M.D.]

I have been doing business with Ack Radio since around 1970... It was 
started by Everett Atkerson (W4ECI) in Birmingham in the 1940's. His son 
Tommy (W4RRW) opened up a store on Lucky St. in Atlanta in the late 
1950's. The grandson (Steve) took over the business when Tommy passed 
away in August of 1998. Steve was not a ham.

W4ECI was one of the QSL managers for Gus Browning, W4BPD, and and a big 
DXer. He had a big Telrex 20 meter monobander on a tower on a mountain 
in Birmingham,  AL.
