DOWN THE TOOBE
If you din't notice the picture of
fellow PARC member Lane, KC6AST, on
page 71 of the April 73, you might
check it out.
Sure nice to hear the winter-long
grunge and the internally-generated
noise gone from the .73 machine in
the wake of changing antennae and
feed lines on 4/9. In use now is
the new corner reflector put up last
year. It does somewhat limit the
repeater coverage to the southeast,
but that. will soon be corrected by
reorienting the antenna or by finding
and curing the problem in the
4-dipole array/feedline and putting
it back into operation.
We're sorry to note the passing on
11 April, of a ham of note. Retired~
USAF LtGen. Butch Griswold, KIDWC,
Butch was a WW II fighter pilot ,
and lived in Leisure World in Laguna
Niguel. He commanded the 21th and
3rd Air Forces in Guam and England
before becoming Deputy SAC Commander
under Gen. Curtis LeMay, W6EZV, in
1954. Bis last active duty post was
as Commandant, National War College.
He retired in 1954, and was active
in ham radio, both on BF and on the
Laguna Beach 2M repeater. It was
always a joy to talk to him, hear
his cheery voice, and listen to his
Bold time aviator B stories.
Art Rideout, WA6IPD, liked our
comments on no-code license propospals,
and sent along his own
sentiments which point out that lac~
of growth in the Amateur Radio
Service is solvable by letting folks
know there is an Amateur Service.
Art is actively .doing his part at
Potter Jr. High School.
