Western Washington DX Club member, ARRL life member, and all around great guy, Rod was a giant in contesting and DXing from the PNW.

He was active in all modes and had a log in pretty much every contest.

Besides major contests, he was on just about every week on Wednesday CWT and Thursday night Sprints.

His current DXCC standings are impressive.

373 Mixed

370 Phone

350 CW

332 RTTY

2732 Challenge.

Yesterday, unfortunately, he did not survive a medical procedure.

He was featured in NCJ back in 2014. (attached)

RIP my friend.
