[amsat-bb] Norm Mc Sweyn N3YKF SK

[John Papay]

Norm, N3YKF, became a Silent Key on 12December2018 after a
long battle with a rare form of cancer.  He underwent many
operations and treatments, spending months in and out
of the hospital.

Norm was an experimenter and satellite dxpeditioner.  He
was constantly working on his "portable" setup which
included az/el rotors and CP antennas.  He operated from
Peru, Guyana, Suriname, San Andres Island, Tobago Island
and other rare places.  I remember that he took cavities
on his second trip to Peru to fight the RF pollution there.

Norm would often post on the amsat-bb in response to
requests for help with antenna and rotor problems.  He
spent most of his time working on his portable setup
rather than operating. He will be missed.
