Harry Helms,
Author of shortwave and ham radio books passed
away on October 15th at the age of 57.
His Shortwave Listening Guidebook was my first
radio book and guide into the HF world. There's a
link on QRZ to his blog where he talks about his
life facing death with cancer, and other issues. I
never met him on or off the air, but after reading
his blog I came away impressed by his
understanding as to what is important in our
earthly life.
