Re: FM Station # 2,000 Logged....Did John have anything to do ...
Hi Rob,
Congratulations on FM station #2000 (KTST-101.9)... from Oklahoma! That
certainly has a special meaning.
I know how you feel about John-- he was just starting to show interest in
FM-DXing, mostly because of your great E-skip success. Despite his decades
of DXing knowledge and experience, John was always willing to try
something new, and discover a new way to enjoy the hobby. One of my biggest
thrills was developing the E100 Slider loopstick antenna together with him, and
watching it become popular with various DXers. John took special pride in
the growing popularity of the Ultralightdx group, and how it was bringing new
enthusiasm into the AM-DXing hobby.
Before long I'll be heading to Grayland to chase DU's, the
first summer in 3 years that Guy Atkins and I won't be able
to coordinate DXpedition times with John at the Grayland Motel. I'm sure
that both of us will still need a while to get used to the new
situation.
73, Gary
