            years.  I met Bob when I was 19 at the 2002 Dayton.  From
            then on spent time with him at future Dayton's, DCC's, was
            honored when he invited me to start presenting at the Dayton
            APRS forum each year I brought my company there.  Had a
            couple meals with him.  He was fun to be around and listen
            to.  Yes, he was set in his ways, but I think it all came
            from a good place, deep in his heart because he stood behind
            his ideals no matter what.  I admire that quality.</div>

            cancer and that he was that bad off.  He did a good job

            death has sparked me to change that, get my gear out and get
            it going again.  As much as Bob hated trackers ;o), that's

                <div>It's a hobby. We enjoy tinkering. Sometimes new
                  ideas come to us when we least expect it. I'm sure
                  that will happen with aprs, as it sounds like there
