[amsat-bb] Frank, K4FEG SK

[Mike Sprenger]

Hugh,

Wow-thanks for making us aware we’ve lost Frank. 

My experience has been that I’d give my call on a quiet transponder many many times and Frank would say “Well hello Mike”... followed by a nice QSO that made getting on the birds feel to me like you’re “Where everybody knows your name” (to steal an old TV show theme) which was enjoyable to me.

K4FEG 73 FRIEND DE W4UOO SK

Thanks,
Mike
