[WriteLog] WriteLog Digest, Vol 203, Issue 16

Thu Nov 28 17:37:18 EST 2019

This is very sad new to hear, he was a dear friend to me as well. We did 
a CQWW from Canada and won first place in the world. Ron wanted so bad 
to set a new record but we failed to reach his goal. I learned what I 
know about RTTY contesting from Ron when he was Killer Duck. I hope 
someone will post where he passed away and when. I had several calls 
from a hospital in Texas at the town used to live, I called it back 
several times and didn't know who had called me. If it was from Ron I'm 
so disappointed that I didn't get to talk to him.
Nick, w4gkm
