He had a wall of beautifully crafted homebrew transmitters - one a copy of the Admiral Byrd antarctic transmitter, and was a true gentleman and very hospitable. I also spoke with him many times on the air with the GPT-750, which still has the homebrew mod deck he built.

I hope his gear, especially the HB stuff, has been planned for in advance to find new homes where they will stay on the air and active. |
