HF antenna pioneer A. J. F. (Frank) Clement, W6KPC, of Bakersfield, California, died September 23 as a result of an highway accident. He was 93 and an ARRL Life Member.

A former owner of Tri-Ex Tower, Frank designed and built a number of high performance HF arrays over the course of several decades. The June 1980 issue of QST featured his article describing the Collinear Yagi Sextet. As he described it: “The antenna systems at W6KPC and OH8OS are computer controlled. The computer is programmed to search through the eight modes to see which receives the incoming signal best.” His other state of the art antenna projects appeared in the September 1951, May 1958 and November 1978 issues.
