Hello,
I met Tom back in 1992 as we both raced towards our Extra Class License. We agreed to pass the Extra test at the same VE session, but two weeks early Tom made another testing and beat me to Extra Class.
Tom had WAS on many bands, when he showed me his WAS on 160 meters I was inspired. That took me on a 6 year journey to WAS on 160 meters.
Visiting my old friend in the hospital broke my heart as he slowly deteriorated. I wore my best suit to his funeral as we sent him to Heaven to be once again safe in the arms of God! Until we meet again old friend, you inspired me and I miss you.
