Rush was in my type of electronics business for many years so we had more in common than just the love of contesting and DXing. He invited me a number of times to be among the "RM contest crew" but I never had the time. I should have made the time. We never met in person but Rush would always stop in the busiest contest to ask how I was, "how's business" and wish me well. A true gentleman from the "old school" of DX and contesting. Rest in peace, Rush. Gary, W0TM
Never met Rush but worked him many times. W7RM is a legendary call. I remember back in the early 70's hear him describe "foul weather bluff" and all his antennas. RIP Rush.
