It is with a heavy heart that I report that I just learned that John
Basilotto, W5GI, became a silent key last evening.
Arrangements are pending, but I was informed that there will be a mass in
Lakeway, TX, with eventual interment in Arlington National Cemetery.

John was a wonderful person. His individual help to me taught

it freely. What a terrific person for me to look up to.

I know John from the early days of the SDR1000 and the Flex5000 He was

I wanted to update all interested in this software development on its
progress...
All the behind the scenes coding is complete:
*The software communicates accurately with PowerSDR through the CAT port
(you'll need a virtual COM pair and/or DDutil set up to use)
*Toggle-style CAT Commands work
I did not know John, but the loss of anyone to such a brutal disease leaves me
with a heavy heart.
RIP John - 73's.

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.

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
HE WILL be missed and in Russia...
