I worked Bill a number of times, mostly on 30 meters. I don't think that he ever retired.  Very sorry to learn the news.

I see on QRZ that Bill Crane, W9ZN, passed away on Oct. 26.  His “BENS BEST BENT WIRE” warmup routine was legendary, and QSO’s with him were always nice. RIP.

(The HN and MH have a bar over them, so the letters are run together and were added by Bill to embellish the rhythm . )
