I just was informed that Steve Howard- AB0XE-on Dec 13th had become a silent key. I did not know him personally- However In 2021 Steve kick started me in Satellites by reaching out to me and giving me two of his radios and a bunch of books and other gear that now I use almost every day. I would not be where I am without his kindness and generosity help me succeed in satellite’s. I will never forget this.
