Some Thoughts
We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Lon, W3DID. Lon was one of the founders of The BRATS, along with Bob Bennett, W3WCQ, who passed away not too long ago. Lon was not only one of the founders of The BRATS, but also of fast scan ATV and ATV repeaters.. I recall one of his famous sayings: If you have $1 to spend on ham radio, spend 99 cents on your antenna… True. Lon always encouraged youngsters to become interested in and participate in ham radio and ATV, as well as anyone who came along. He was a welcoming sort of guy. We will miss him…..
