Sad news, everyone: Yesterday Jay Smilkstein suffered a fatal heart
attack. He was buried today by the local Jewish community in Putnam
Valley, NY.
Last week Jay told me he had a good time at the SWLfest this
year--perhaps the last time that he really enjoyed himself. Whatever
you thought of Jay, he was part of our community, and one of
us. Over the past decade and a half I got to know Jay and called him
often. I'm privileged to have known Jay, and will miss the arcane
technical knowledge, radio wisdom, and deadpan wit that he shared with us.
Jay, enjoy some great AM DX'ing, wherever you are...
