[Flexradio] John Basilotto, W5GI - A Truely Good Friend
I was saddened by the news of John's passing. I will certainly miss him as I know many others will as well. He came to my aid and that of two friends of mine when help was needed. And, he certainly encouraged me in my life as a Flex user. My wife and I knew both John and his wife, Pat. Our heart goes out to her in her time of grief. 73, John.

Re: [Flexradio] John Basilotto, W5GI
Dear friends, on behalf of our German SDR-group I would like to express that we are deeply saddened now knowing, that John is silent key forever. A few of us had the privilege to meet John in Dayton or to talk to him by radio or on the phone. We were impressed about his determination and passion to hamradio and his contribution to Software Defined Radio specifically. We feel sad for his family and will remember him as one of the first enthusiasts on SDR.

[Flexradio] John Basilotto, W5GI
I am very sorry to hear of John's passing. I first met John at the Seaside, Oregon Hamfest 3 years ago when I purchased my 5000A. I had opportunity to meet with him again when he attended Seapac the following year. I always enjoyed hearing him on 20 meters and loved to hear him speaking the wonderful attributes of FlexRadio. John will be sorely missed. 73 John.

Re: [Flexradio] John Basilotto, W5GI
I remember John from Dayton a few years back, and I had a QSO with him on 20m on what I learned was the first day of his retirement from Flex. I am sure he will be missed greatly by his family and by the amateur community at large.

Re: [Flexradio] John Basilotto, W5GI (SK)
This is truly a very sad day. John was a very close and dear friend of mine and to a lot of others on this reflector; I will miss him terribly. His contribution to ham radio and to FlexRadio was immense, but as a person, he was a giant among us all. One of the good guys. I for one will miss him a lot, but I am glad he is no longer in pain or suffering any more from his cancer. Pleases keep his family, especially Pat in your thoughts and prayers during this sad time. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Ray - K9DUR Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2011 8:07 AM To: Flex-Radio E-Mail Reflector Subject: [Flexradio] John Basilotto, W5GI It is with a heavy heart that I report that I just learned that John Basilotto, W5GI, became a silent key last evening.

If its true that energy cannot be destroyed but just transferred, then there is one huge ball of energy just released into the world. John was one of the most positive, active and generous people I have come into contact with. The words generous and brave are the ones I think of most. A real role model for truly living the rest of our lives. RIP John!

Re: [Flexradio] John Basilotto, W5GI
boy thats the truth. John also fathered the 'W5GI mystery antenna', and the W5GI D-3 plus , which lives on at W5WMU, my favorite super-station. I spoke with him about it within the last couple years... Its a glorious thing to behold, all 405' feet of it, all at 200'a real killer on 75m I bet John is looking down at it now, smiling... 73 John, good dx, W5XZ, dan --- On Thu, 1/13/11, Neal Campbell nealk...@gmail.com wrote: From: Neal Campbell nealk...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Flexradio] John Basilotto, W5GI To: Ed White wa3...@verizon.net Cc: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Date: Thursday, January 13, 2011, 3:51 PM If its true that energy cannot be destroyed but just transferred, then there is one huge ball of energy just released into the world.
