That's very sad news indeed. While I never had the privilege of meeting Robin
in person I talked to him countless times over the years mostly on 75m long
path at his SR. Robin was always a gentleman and his LP signal was a beacon
many could count on as a barometer of low band conditions. Robin will be
deeply missed on those cold wintry late afternoons up here in New England!
