Jack, 

 

You just brought up very fond memories of me working John on one of those
far northern trips of his.

I worked him on 6m MS (easily) and even asked him on-air, if you can
imagine(!) to try 2m where we

proceeded to have a fantastic QSO nearly like Es-but this was 2m MS..a blue
whizzer; the likes of which we rarely see on 2m ! (I recall he asked me to
get some other locals on, but iirc it was super late at night and nobody
else was around-nearby)

 

We'll miss you John, 

 

RIP

 

Mike VE9AA (might've been VE1MQ for some of those earlier Q's)

 

Terry - I remember when John drove up into Canada to activate grids for 6
and 2 

in the late 80's.  I would work him when he was driving south on I-75 to 

Florida.  He was a great guy.  He will be missed  from Southwest Ohio.

  

RIP, John - Jack AB4CR
