When Floyd unexpectedly went SK, Hoisy W4CJL who was founder of SPAM agreed
to let a guy in California take over. It took a while to get all the SPAM
paperwork, and there may have been a bank account, from Floyd's estate. I

guy in CA got everything and began running SPAM.
He hit the ground running and for a few months it looked like he was going
