[NLRS] K0GUV 6m beacon

[Mark Rinas]

Jon, I think I can shed some light on this. 

I met his son Matt at Dayton this year - he was in the Midwest 6 Meter Strong Signal Team swap spot.  When I told him I had met his father many years ago and offered my condolences and told him we would be neighbors soon he gave me his QSL card. (See photo).  Matt’s call is K0KKO and his contact info and his family’s story is on his QRZ page. 

W0MGR - Mark
