KE2QJ is a silent key as of May 19, 2011. What an exemplary radio ham! Here's an article (page 9 of the document) from the Rochester Amateur Radio Association: http://rags.rochesterham.org/e-RAGS/RAG_July_2011.pdf You can read for yourself about his accomplishments, one of which was the design of antennas used in the Apollo program. His obituary is here: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/democratandchronicle/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=151166196 I noticed his page didn't indicate SK, so I wanted to mention him. My first encounter with Jack's work was in the mobile HF section of the 2005 ARRL Handbook, where it showed his High-Efficiency Mobile Antenna Coupler (also in Vol. 5 of the Antenna Compendium). Currently, I'm building a coupler with his circuit for my own mobile, and trying to get my hands on as much of his writing as possible. Rejoice with the heavenly host, Jack!
