Al Harbach, WA4DRU, recently became a SK in Houston, Wednesday,
August 15th. He was known by many as Mr. Heathkit after Heath shut their
doors. Al was also quite a prominent DXer, and many know him for his many
travels to the various islands, lately at VP5 and other places.
He was a
long standing member of the North Florida DX Association. Also, Al had a
small business which provided many with Heathkit parts that kept our old
rigs going. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his wife Pat.
