*PS.* He was an officer and former president of QCWA, member of the 
ARRL, DARA, and also very active in SPARC (Society of Present Amateur 
Knowledge --- a name coined by Ed, WR8A), and other clubs. He was a ham 
for over 60 years and quite active on the air and in dx-ing. He was a 
great admirer of Ten Tech, and looking around his shack you would think 
it was a show room for the company.
