Explain, please. What is wrong with Kraus's works?

On 07/20/04 09:40 pm Cecil Moore put fingers to keyboard and launched
the following message into cyberspace:

John Kraus W8JK has passed away at age 94. He is the inventor of the
corner reflector, helix and W8JK antennas.

I'm really sorry to hear that. But his works will live in infamy.

Mea Culpa! I would have bet $100 that the definition of infamy was
"forever famous". I had no idea that it is defined only in a negative
context. When people said I was "infamous" on this newsgroup, I took
it as a compliment. I believe the modern appropriate response is:

My bad!

John Kraus is one of my heroes. My ignorance of the definition of
a word certainly wasn't intended to dim his accomplishments.
