Say what you want about Carl, but he is a hams ham.

I had been in a couple year war with him.  To say we didn't get along would be an understatement.

He heard I needed a semi expensive cap (for a single dad of 2 kids on disability, it was unobtanium) to fix an amplifier.

Even when we didn't get along, a few of those caps showed up in my mailbox.  Free.
 Unsolicited.  Just because a ham helps other hams.

He has a gruff exterior, but he's always there for someone when he can be.

I, for one, hope he's just taking a hiatus from the boards and reflectors.  It wouldn't be the first time in the 25 years I've known his online presence.

He's been on my "Buddy" list for ages, it seems. (And there's only two others there.)

I think KD6VXI summed Carl up well.

I've sent Carl an email, but no response after two weeks. :-(

What's a "hams ham"? Is that like a doctor's doctor? Or a salesman's salesman? ;)

That's the problem with these message boards, too many grumpy old men with big egos that like to bump heads. After several years it gets old until many of us finally say enough is enough and just disappear. A lot of it too has to do with the fact everything on these boards is put in writing and will often get taken the wrong way as a result. If you were to say the same thing to the persons face in person, chances are it wouldn’t get taken that same way at all.

Carl is alright and he does know his stuff. He probably knows more than most all of the people he's butted heads with over the years even though they wont ever admit it, but it's true.
