Dean .. My elmer .. A good friend and great a cw man. I will miss him. My first CW contact was on his HW-100. I wanted to shut off the radio when someone answered my CQ. He laughed and said "Your good with cw, now go ahead and answer." I did and all went well. We had a good many laughs together and I miss him already.
