My condolences to Phil's family and his many friends.
I have never met Phil in person, but we have had many very pleasant
email exchanges in the past. Our last conversation was around the
building of a custom cable adapter to allow him to use his microphone
with the KX3. I hope he had many pleasant QSOs with it.
73,

Greetings to Group:
I have the sad news to inform all that Phil La Marche W9DVM passed on April 14th. from complications due to a case of the stomach flu.
Several years ago he posted a request on a local reflector group looking for someone to do some tower climbing, antenna work and odd projects in the shack. I responded. The visits led to a friendship that I will never forget. His wife Diane asked me if I would help with the disbursement of the equipment.
The first day a went over I got some things done but I mostly I just sat in the shack. Tough day to say the least. This past Tuesday I went and spent the whole day sorting, documenting, and packing the items up resale.
I also made the decision to buy all his K3 line and also the KX3. I'm not rich but I didn't want to part out his dream station. As a good friend I also dug deep into the checking account for Diane. She is happy that it went to me.
So here I am with my dream station...maybe someday someone like me will come around for my wife.
