Title: WA3WMI sk Post by: k3sqp on August 17, 2018, 05:08:58 PM With lousy band condx I've lost track of quite a few of the
40 m AM regulars. Sadly today I Googled Joe WA3WMI, Joe, from Larksville PA and found he passed away in March. Sure sad to hear this, he was one of the "good guys" and I'm going to miss him. My sympathy goes out to his Family and friends... So it goes...

I know he had failing eyesight over the years. I believe he was once a stellar woodworker. Not more that maybe 2 weeks ago I was thinking about him. 40M conditions are so up and down, that I seldom listen there anymore. Saying that, I usually here CW signals down around 7.032.

He lived only a few minutes away and when 40 was not cooperating we would meet on 220 FM simplex. You are correct, Joe. He was a master wood worker and a true gentleman. I am going to miss him....

Joe's friendly voice was always a treat to listen to on the 40 meter band and I always enjoyed chatting with him. He is going to be missed.
