Re: [M100] Ron Wiesen
Ron's passing is profoundly sad news. His contributions to the community were incredible over the years, but he was also just an all around great guy to talk to. I was just in contact with him last year, and he was still working on various antenna projects for his main hobby. His humor and wit will be sorely missed.

Re: [M100] Ron Wiesen
Genuinely grieved to hear about Ron's passing. He was a fount of reliable, thoughtful information, always brought something to the conversation, and was just a fine fellow. I noted on Nov. 10th that he did not post his annual 'Happy Birthday' observation, and wondered a bit about it. Very sorry to learn of it.

Sad news! Ron was a core member of this community for a long time and a big contributor of software and support. He stuck around for some time after Rick's passing, but I think he really missed Rick and it just wasn't the same for him after that loss. So I think many of us had already been missing Ron. Rest in peace Ron. And as he often signed off, -= Model T's Forever =-
Re: [M100] Ron Wiesen
I didn’t know the man, but sad to hear all the same. Hearing this makes it feel ever more important to reach out and wish everyone good health and a merry Christmas.

Re: [M100] Ron Wiesen
That is really sad to hear. He was always a good laugh. Felt like his brain operated at a higher level than most. His legacy will live on with TEENY.

Re: [M100] Ron Wiesen
sorry to hear that for sure. He was a great member of the list and community for sure, and he had a great depth of knowledge.

Hi everyone, I learned today from an amateur radio contact that WD8PNL, Ronald R. Wiesen passed away July 23rd, 2021. He was 71. Ron was noticeably absent from the list recently, especially with the current topics being right up his alley. He brought us many cool programs related to Amateur Radio as well as utilities for the M100. He was a US Marine with combat experience and had dozens of entertaining, crazy stories to go along with all of that. He ran Little Orphan Annie crypto challenges, would spin yarns about the simplest of things and was just pain fun. Ron was an awesome guy, he was already missed but knowing he is gone forever makes me immeasurably sad. 73 my friend, WD8PNL, Keeper of the Primordial Bit (mother of all bits), -= Ron Wiesen =- (SK) As of yet, we have received no comment from Bubba.
