About 15 years ago I was standing on a roof with my now SK friend
helping take down an antenna for an elderly ham, now surely a SK, and I
said to him, "Don, there won't be any young hams around when our time
comes!"
I just hope there's someone left to help MY widow!

I am sure the widows of the hams you helped appreciate the effort. Great job!

While you quote a 50-50 split with the estate, most individual hams will do

When I helped a neighbor ham's widow dispose of his stuff about ten years ago,
she got EVERYTHING except what I had to pay for shipping. I did all the
packing. Buyers picked up the antennas and power amps. I bought all of the hard
line. Ditto for a few years ago when a neighbor ham moved out of his house and
moved onto a sailboat! In fact, with the widow, I categorized his huge junkbox,
coax, hardline, and antennas. I coordinated more than dozen or so of his
friends to take down his antennas and his towers. At least three guys did the
climbing, with lots of help on the ground. And when we had sold as much as we
could, several of us helped her drag what was left to several ham swap meets.
I took a bunch of the stuff I wanted, and paid her what anyone else would have
paid for it.
This is the ham radio that I grew up in, and I hope my XYL be treated that way
too.
