I met Rich Arland, K7SZ at the Atlanticon QRP Forum in 2001 and a couple of subsequent Atlanticons. He was a great presenter, very engaging a guy who really knew his stuff. Rich often posted to the QRP-L mail reflector and helped me by answering questions I had once. Rich had a great sense of humor and loved talking ham radio. Rich was an ARCI QRP Hall of Famer to boot.
RIP Rich.
