I was surfing the web for a long lost friend and former neighbor and found this post.  Yes it is sad and I know I am very late to this post but I feel that I must pay my respects.   I knew Tim back in 1986 time frame when I became his neighbor in Columbia. MD.  I moved in, set up my hidden in the tree antenna and started meeting new friends on 11 meters.... Yes then 11m.  Well maybe the 2nd or 3rd night my 11m rig went nuts with some sort of rant where "Tim" was giving someone a lesson on radio and how to properly use it....  Anyway long story short I knocked on his door and we became neighbor friends right away.   We never had anyone block our QSO's hahahah.   Tim gave me the HAM bug bad and several years later, after I moved to PA and once my work life settled down I got my ticket and started to enjoy real radio.   I found Tim on AM shortly after getting my ticket but could not start a QSO from my weak station.   Well at least I found this post and now know where he is transmitting from now.  Can't get any higher elevation than that....  73 long lost friend it was a pleasure to know you.  Tom K3WS

Tim had a helluva bad situation with a neighbor, in Columbia, Md. and RFI. It seemed like the slightest amount of RF out Timmy's radio and it would knock the neighbor's dial-up line/computer off line. The neighbor apparently relied on the internet to earn money. I think he worked the stock markets.

Still miss Derb.

Derb was quite a character and didnt deserve to go so young, but he is well-remembered here by lots of his friends. 

Stick around and join us with AM and ham radio fun!

Good to hear from you Tom. I think of Derb often, more often lately since a coworker has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Hope to hear you on the air. That's a great call sign!

Fellows, Tom's call sign is K3WS, NOT W3WS... But then, Steve started the phonetics thing so who am I to contradict him?

Yeah, I miss the Derb,  the Slab,  Dave (ZRF), Bill (DUQ), PUN (the Punster), Richard Roxas (W3NCC) & a whole bunch more that I used to chat with in the evenings...  

Then there was Erb in the afternoons...

I guess that's just  life at 88...  Roll Eyes

This gospel song popped into my mind when I saw your post and remembered those who have gone before us all.
