I met Dave at the Birmingham Hamfest years ago. But after I became the CQ 160
Contest Director for CQ I treid several years to met up with Dave at the
hamfest and had to call him at home in 1994. Dave just did not go to
Birmingham for some reason.
So after I became the 160 director. I got a note from Al K2EEK that he and
Dave wanted me test the Alinco DJ-1T 2 meter handheld. It was practically
useless on St. Simons with the rubber duck antenna even at 5 watts. Neil N4FN
gave it a good report on the DX repeater in Atlanta. I did find some
documentation problems (how to store memory) but otherwise it was a nice cheap
hand held. The review was in the same 1993 issue with Val N4RJ on the cover.
Dave and I corresponded from time to time but other than having him come by the
ESCO booth at Dayton in 1995 I never saw him again.
RIP Dave
73 Dave K4JRB
