There will never be a contest anything like the past several decades without "Hi Bill, Mel KC0P" on the phone at a new grid. I dare say that my contest scores in the future will be half or less of what they were in the past without he and Carol's activations. They were the highlight for me in every contest. He was always SO KIND in every way, thanking you for every Q when it was HE and CAROL that needed to be thanked. What a loss personally as well as to the VHF community. 

  God Bless our friend Mel
