[TowerTalk] Collected Writings of Larson E. Rapp Published

[Jim Brown K9YC]

This was in the ARRL Letter today. It gives me great pleasure to see 
that the contributions of this giant of an engineer over nearly three 
decades have finally been recognized. We do, indeed, stand on the 
shoulders of those who have come before us. 

==> ARRL COMPILES COMPLETE WORKS OF LARSON E. RAPP, WIOU 

Thanks to the efforts of ARRL volunteer Bob Allison, WB1GCM, the 
League has assembled the complete known works of noted QST author 
Larson E. Rapp, WIOU <http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/larson/>. Rapp's 
remarkable contributions spanned a period of more than three decades 
(1941-1962, 1972), primarily during the month of April. Rapp was said 
to be from Kippering-on-the-Charles, Massachusetts, just off Route 
128.

"Like most visionaries unafraid of pushing technology beyond 
conventional limitations, Larson at times was controversial among his 
peers and contemporaries," ARRL Lab Engineer Mike Gruber, W1MG, said. 
"You can now be the judge of just how well Rapp's theorems and 
trademark 'radical approach' have withstood the test of time."
