Title: QST Managing Editor dies in house fire
Post by: WA3VJB on August 20, 2012, 10:33:32 AM
Sorry to have to note the passing of Joel Kleinman this past weekend in a fire at his home in Connecticut. Thanks to a posting on QRZ.com for the heads up.

Joel, N1BKE, helped open the door to several articles about AM that I wrote (and co-wrote)  in recent years.

As Managing Editor of QST magazine, it was mostly up to him to commission an article out of a story idea.  I appreciated his receptiveness to our part of the hobby, and hope the best for the recovery of his wife, who was rescued from the home.

The sad details are here:

In addition to my pleasant firsthand exchanges with Joel about AM, he happens also to be the author of the article a few years ago introducing the vintage AM station at W1AW.
