Count me in as another admirer of Mike, who gave Zone 29 to so many of us, not only on Top Band, but other bands as well. Mike was also a top notch 160 Meter DXer, living a long way from major population centers, but still able to run up a high country total. Contacts on 160 into places

I'm sad to hear that! I worked Mike on 160 MANY years ago for my first VK6 on 160 and one of my proudest 160m accomplishments at that time! I've worked Mike on several other bands, but the 160 contact was special and one I will always remember! Thanks,. Mike! Rest in Peace! Charlie, K4OTV -
