AARGH!!. . never mind . .

W6AM

W6AM tale: My second transmitter was a $29.95 Heathkit AT-1 I'd
cobbled together. The only FT-243 xtal I owned was 7.060. Xtals were
EXPENSIVE boy! Which when doubled put me on 14.120. Kinda useless freq
for dxing so I had to really scrounge for contacts. CQ, CQ, CQ, CQ ad
infinitum after school with all 3-5 watts of RF out or whatever it
was. Finally a CT1 found me and we latched up for several days
running. After some number of days another station called out of
nowhere, it was W6AM mobile running CW from his car. So 14.120 got to
be a three-way round table around 5pm Eastern Time for days on end. At
the time I had no idea who W6AM actually was except that his name was
Don and he was a really neat guy. I have a W6AM card.

Yeah, Gerry W3BES/W3GM. The radio god in these parts, my all-time
great mentor. EVERYBODY'S mentor, that's the way he was. I yakked with
Gerry on the club machine one day then found out he passed away two
days later. Dredge up QSTs from the late '40s and early '50s and check
the glossy back cover RCA power tubes division ads for a look at Gerry
himself and the collection of the gorgeous monster amps he designed
and built.

------------

Danny Weil of San Antonio, TX was born January 14, 1918 in a suburb of
London England. He was descended from many generations of watchmakers
and was apprenticed in the trade of watchmaking. Later he earned a
Degree in Mechanical Engineering and Navigation. His father, Jack
Weil, was killed during World War II in the London Blitz.

Danny joined the Royal Air Force at the age of 17 and in the 10 years
he served, he was stationed in Ceylon, India, Norway and Stalingrad.
Danny left England in 1954 in a boat he made by himself in order to
travel the world alone after being inspired when he read the book "Kon
Tiki" in 1947. In 1963, after 9 years, 3 boats and travels to the
Atlantic, the Carribean and the Pacific Islands,

Danny completed his around the world voyage. Needing a means of
communication, he taught himself Morse Code, radio theory and obtained
a British Amateur radio license. Sailing single handedly around the
world was a trip he volunteered to undertake on behalf of radio
"hams". His voyage was integral in setting up ham radio stations on
remote islands and the expedition was monitored by over 100, 000
amateur radio enthusiasts around the world. He is remembered by most
"hams" as "the first DXpeditioner."

Danny was known as an adventurer who had a dry sense of humor which
was characteristic to the British but his heart was warm and his
loyalty as a friend was unparalleled. He was preceded in death by his
wife Naomi Weil and his mother Christine Eckels.

Danny is survived by his close knit extended family of friends, Dan &
Barbara Mclhany of Fair Oaks; Bonnie & Billy Henderson of San Antonio
and all of the employees at Towne North Animal Hospital.
