> You are probably thinking about Floyd, WA5TWF, who became a Silent Modulator > in 1987. I knew Floyd Dunlap/WA5TWF personally. He lived in Houston/Spring(?), TX had relatively medium powered rigs, and antennas that weren't very high, but he was as active as could be, and quite the AM Activist! I was in Clear Lake, TX (just south of Houston, by N.A.S.A.) when I called his house to arrange a visit. One of his parents answered - Then the other. That's when I was informed that -this was the day of Floyd's funeral-. He had passed away, three days before. May he Rest In Peace. The Floyd I was thinking of, lives up in Arkansas and was also on with a BC-610 with W5MEU, W5PYT and the others mentioned above. It'll come to me later ;-) 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR
