Ray,
Was always a great contact and spent a lot of time on 14.185 every morning. We will miss him a lot.
I never had the pleasure to meet Ray in person but talked with him many times on 40 and 20 and even bought a couple of tuner's from him. Great guy and wealth of knowledge. We all will miss his voice and strong signal from Ca. The hobby has lost another good Ham. W6ZR and W6CCP were always fun to talk with and learn from these two big gun's. 73's Ray RIP.. Bob W5RG
Knew Ray for over twenty years and was the most gracious person on the 14.185 group. Always a big signal with his Quaggi antenna.
Ray's wit and humor will be missed.
Ray and I met on 40 meters. We had in common that we were both ex Navy Vets and old dudes from the Korean era service. Ray knew much about a lot and always was there for advice I
needed for my homebrew antenna projects. I miss Ray and his big moxon/Quagi antenna with a booming signal and pleasant qsos. I will miss Ray very much.
I used to talk to Ray, Jaybird, Seymour, Dale and all the other California kilowatts on 14.185 every morning. Great group! Definitely missed!
