I never spoke with the man, but I was privileged to purchase a beam antenna that he had owned (he upgraded) through a third party. I sure worked a lot of DX with it and got a kick out of the history of the antenna. Always loved the music of 38 Special, so definitely a neat part of my own ham history. RIP Larry... Rock on!

 

I met Larry once at the crash site memorial just south of me along with some others including Gene Odom
