[NLRS] Mel, KC0P SK

[Rob Jahnke]

Mel has been a great friend for over 50yrs. He was alway inquisitive,
curious, learning, and experimenting. He was always a joy to be with. The
last project we worked on was the NanoVNA. Mel really enjoyed learning how
to use it and became an expert with the NanoVNA and NanoVNA Saver software.
He was always so helpful to anyone and was the quintessential ham. He will
be missed so much but we will never forget the great times we had.
