Overheard during the contest last weekend and confirmed in the San Joaquin Valley section news, http://www.arrl.org/sections/SJV.html . Bob, W6KOC has passed away. I belive it was about 3 weeks ago. Yet another VHF+ regular has left us. 73, Robert KR7O/YB2ARO, DM07ba/OI52ee (ex. N7STU) kr7o at vhfdx.com www.vhfdx.com (KR7O/YB2ARO homepages)
