[IRCA] WJDI 1620

[Karl Zuk <karlzuk@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm glad to know that "George" is still out there, too.
A million years ago, I featured WJDI in my Monitoring Times column "American Bandscan."
I visited his home and saw his antennas and transmitters.
The man produced the most beautiful metal and electronic work you could ever imagine.
He really was an artist when it came to construction and design.
After his final tubes were worn out, he would bury them in his backyard as a memorial.
He loves radio and loves learning about design and propagation.
Make all the comments you want about him being misguided being a pirate,
but I would be hard pressed to find anyone else who could come close to his workmanship. 
A beloved friend's hat would sit atop his big metal transmitter during his broadcasts.
"WJDI" was dedicated to his wife Judy who kindly followed along even through the worst FCC threats.
"George" has a great heart and a big soul. Long life to you, laddie.
