[AMRadio] Bill KD0HG and Kim KE3SX both SK

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

It's a shocker to all of us who knew either of these men, Brian. Kim wasn't
heard as far away as Bill as he was running lower power but had recently
gotten a homebrew 4-400 rig he was working on. For folks back east it was
difficult to get on the low bands and not eventually find or be called by
Kim. He really enjoyed his radio time.

When Bill fired up his 304TH/TL rig that he affectionately referred to as
'La Bamba' and you heard his deep voice rolling in from Colorado, you knew
it was going to be a good night for some radio fun. He's the only station I
could reliably hear and work from that state. Like Ashtabula Bill, 'PYT and
other big, recognizable signals we recall, Bill is one that will leave a
large hole that can never be filled.
