 Since nobody had any direct info on Carl's status, I drove to his house and knocked on the door today, not quite sure what to expect.
Carl's ex-wife answered the door and invited me in. She announced me to Carl, who then made his way down the stairs . We had a nice visit and yakked for about a half-hour. He knew me, and even asked how my "twin" (K1AR) was doing.
He was unaware that his ham license had expired, but at age 83, sometimes events like that slip by.

So now you know "...the rest of the story".
73,
Doug K1DG


Seems he's still around.  I'm sure as crotchety as ever.  Nice of his ex to step up.

I wonder what that is all about? ??? Maybe she is the only one that can tolerate him. ;) Well glad to know the old curmudgeon is upright!

The concern is Carl stopped posting a year ago when he would normally post everyday. At QTH a while ago this concern resulted in a call to local police of Carl's well being and finally a visit to his house confirming his well being.

I was part of that as well.

I consider Carl as a friend.  I was a nasty asshole to him.  He heard I needed some parts through the grapevine.

They showed up at my house, for free.  Carl is an asshole, but he's also a hams ham.

I miss his presence, although sometimes he can by 'trying'.

Anyway, glad to see he's still alive and kicking.

Only issue with Carl was he was always right and most of the time he did give good info.
