[UK-CONTEST] G2QT SK

[Peter Hobbs]

Yes, Frank will be sadly missed.  I can still recall the excitement of
achieving 4 bands with him (from VP8) in Beru 1963 during another sunspot
minimum year (10 was universally dead); he was I think the last of the Beru
participants from pre-war days, at least in the UK.  Truly the end of an
era.
