What sad news. Phil and I became friends after conversing about the recipes for his spices. I ordered a large variety and he threw in a couple others that he "recommended". He was passionate about his cooking products, Elecraft, our hobby and life in general. Great guy. I will think of him every time I throw a steak on the grill.

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.
