[Elecraft] Honoring Tom, N0SS SSB vs CW

[Jim McDonald]

I remember working him in many phone contests with his old call, K0RPH,
using the phonetics K0 Rolly Polly Ham.

Some have mentioned that Tom was a CW op rather than a SSB op.  Granted that
is 
true....but if I had thought about this last weekend for NAQP-CW, I would
have 
mentioned it earlier.  I did not.  Therefore.....

Tom was a "Amateur Radio Operator."  I think that SSB or CW makes little 
difference.  I think honoring Tom as an great Amateur Radio Operator is more

paramount than what mode should be used.

Please in the up-coming NAQP-SSB contest honor Tom Hammond....and....from
time 
to time explain why to those who ask.  This has been done before in honor of

other "great" ops.
