> Advisor, wrote

> edition of
> "The ARRL RFI Book." ARRL Lab Manager Ed Hare,
> W1RFI, remembered
> Dickinson, saying, "In the early 1980s, as the cable
> industry was
> developing, the relationship between the cable industry and
> Amateur
> Radio was not good. Early systems were leaky and
> interference problems
> -- especially on 2 meters -- were common. Dickinson helped
> change that;
> he agreed to serve as a liaison between the ARRL and the
> National Cable
> & Telecommunications Association (NCTA). It took years,
> but over time --
> as improvements in the construction of cable plants and
> firm guidance
> from NCTA to cable operators who did not promptly correct
> interference
> problems -- his work helped the cable industry flourish
> with good
> coexistence with licensed radio services. This has served
> as a model for
> ARRL's relationship with other industries." ARRL
> Chief Development
> Officer Mary Hobart, K1MMH, echoed Hare's thoughts:
> "We are saddened by
> the loss of Bob Dickinson, W3HJ, a good friend of ARRL and
> Amateur
> Radio. Bob's keen interest in League activities on

> was evidenced by his generosity as part of the ARRL Diamond
> Club for
