[MilCom] A Great Friend and Monitor Has Passed Away

[Mark Kirker]

Well said Larry...
         I have been friends with Don for 20 years and he is the one who got me hooked on scanning. I was strictly police and fire monitoring and sent a letter with police frequencies I was monitoring to his 1991 newsletter called Northeast Scanning News and he found my number in the phone book and called me and gave me hundreds of military frequencies. I quickly went out and bought a Pro-2006 and enough said, I was hooked. 
I will truly miss my good friend and fellow scanning partner. There will now be dozens of frequencies I will not hear because he was always scanning for new stuff and was always quick to share what he found. 

You will be missed
