I just read of the passing of Fred Laun, K3ZO.  I didn’t know him really well, but we did get together to chat at PVRC meetings and I found him to be one of the nicest hams I’ve ever met.  He was a great operator over the years, but always took time to say hello to me during contests – including in the 2022 10 Meter Contest, less than a month ago.

He will be missed.
