Title: Re: Interesting Story about Hal, K6DPZ, Land Air Communications Post by: WBear2GCR on May 26, 2019, 09:39:58 PM I suspect that IF it was not sold to someone else, it is in the current auction...
Title: Re: Interesting Story about Hal, K6DPZ, Land Air Communications Post by: Tom WA3KLR on May 27, 2019, 11:08:06 AM For Hal Reports - I check into the Antique Wireless Association's Bruce Kelley Memorial Net occasionally. That net meets Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 9:30 a.m, Eastern time on 3837 kHz LSB. Sometimes one of the fellows gives a report on Hal; talks to him on the phone or visits him. Hal has been moved from one hospice facility in Jamaica, Long Island, NY to another one very recently. Apparently, his condition goes down and up, down and up. Sometimes what he says is delusional. That’s all I can say. Tune in yourselves.

He was 74. He had been in a nursing home on Staten Island, NY, then was in the hospital very recently. The funeral service is taking place now on Staten Island.
I haven't been able to find an obituary on the web yet. Otherwise I would start the K6DPZ SK in the Announcements section.

I never knew he was a ham. I'll have to watch the news and see if they pick up on the story
Title: Re: Interesting Story about Hal, K6DPZ, Land Air Communications Post by: WBear2GCR on June 01, 2020, 08:40:30 PM Possibly a Covid casualty? Although the word on the street was that he was not well at all...

He had a stroke a few weeks back while in hospice, was recovering, and then suffered a cerebral hemorrhage Thursday night.
