[OKDXA] VK9NS - SK

[K5TT]

I am sad to hear the news.  I had the opportunity to meet Jim at Dayton.  I walked into a hospitality room and Jim was standing alone over to one side.  I went over and introduced myself.  Surprisingly, he recognized my call and wanted to talk about my trip to KC6 (T88) because he wanted to go there.  To my knowledge, he never went.

He gave me several tough new ones.  He certainly will be missed.

Jim
