What a collection! A large house and shop both literally filled with radio equipment including a six foot rack with a kilowatt AM/CW designed and built by John in the 1950’s and at least <i>four</i> Yaesu FT101E’s. A special radio room completely surrounded with copper screening (including the door) for complete electronic isolation. His antenna farm was one that most of us can only dream about, including a huge Rhombic antenna professionally installed on four telephone poles with gear to lower and raise the antenna on each pole and fed with about 50 yards of open ladder line from his shack/house, also designed and built by John. I have a momento that I bought from his “stock” that sits on my ham desk; a beautifully built and finished wood base with a “Navy” key and paddle mounted on it with separate cables so one can use either at will. I used the key to make my first (and only so far) DXpedition CW contact (to Vanuatu Island) with the key which is identical to the one I used when I was first in radio in the 1950’s. Like Ray, I was flabbergasted by the lineup of Patents neatly framed and lining the wall of his shack. As others have said, he was a master designer of antennas. When he moved to assisted living he received permission to put an antenna out the window to a tree so he could stay active on the ham bands. He said “it isn’t very good but a poor antenna is better than no antenna” a mantra to which I subscribe, living in an antenna restricted HOA.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Truly an amazing ham and person.
