[SFDXA] [DCARC] club call sign

Mon Nov 15 19:19:53 EST 2021

Pete's original call sign was K8UNP (Under Nourished Pete.) He held it
longer than N8PR, but we all identify N8PR with him.

There was a group of us guys that were at Pete's house doing antenna work.
I had a rope and my job was to watch the main antenna and make sure it
didn't get damaged. I took my eyes off of the antenna for about 4 or 5
seconds and when I looked back at it, it was too late. I believe it was
the reflector element that got bent. Pete gave me a glaring look that I
will never forget and he never said a word about it. I've always wanted to
discuss that with him in person but never got the chance too. If it was my
antenna that got damaged and Pete was supposed to make sure it didn't, I
would have given him more than a glaring look. :-)

I hope to see some of you guys at the Orlando Hamboree this coming February.
