[Elecraft] W6JD SK

[Rick Dettinger]

I don't think I have seen this on the reflector. I didn't know Doug  
personally, but a friend who worked with him at Stanford suggested  
that I post this here since Doug was an avid K3 fan and an occasional  
poster.

Doug, W6JD, Silent Key

Doug was ex-KN2CHN (NY, 1952), K2CHN, W7UYE (Tucson), W0QFD (NE, MO, &  
CO), and K6TZX.  B.S. Stanford 1960 (mathematics).

He made DXCC Honor Roll barefoot with dipoles and verticals on a city  
lot, only getting a tribander and amplifier much later.  He was a  
skilled high-speed CW op, rarely using phone.  Recently, he liked  
working with his Elecraft at 10 watts output.  Doug was 72.
