Jogged my memory a bit..... I used to talk with Dick quite frequently on 40 M AM and maybe 75 as well. As I recall, he was running a Collins 30K-1 that he had purchased from a fellow here in Ft Wayne: W9JJX, Al Moore (now SK), who was the original owner.
It was always a pleasure to work W8GNV, however, I haven't heard him on the air for several years. I believe he may have had some health issues...hope he is OK.
I sure miss hearing Hank, W2IQ. He was sure an interesting fellow. Met him in person several times at Dayton.....and of course, worked him many, many times on the air.

He was an officer and former president of QCWA, member of the ARRL, DARA, and also very active in SPARC (SOCIETY for the PRESERVATION of ANTIQUE RADIO KNOWLEDGE --- a name coined by Ed, WR8A), and other clubs. He was a ham for over 60 years and quite active on the air and in dx-ing. He was a great admirer of Ten-Tec, and looking around his shack you would think it was a show room for the company.
