Frank, K4FEG was a great friend of HAMS and AMSAT. Over the years, I looked
forward to our QSOs and was greatly saddened to hear of his passing.
God bless Frank and his family.

Friends
Very sad today.
Lots of contacts with Frank.
Many times when I thought there was no one in the birds.
Frank would appear ...
"Hello Paulo .... Here Kilo Four, Fox echo Golf or (Germany)".
Daily.
He has a contribution when starting AMSAT-BR in 2015.
And recently searched 4 GRIDs here in my state.
R.I.P.

Hello Paulo,
I was looking at your area and I see a place for a possible 4 grid square
operation. Have you looked at FJ90xx, near the town of Sao Luiz? There is a
4 grid intersection about 500 meters off of the Road #210. It might be a
possible place to operate a portable "rover" operation.
It was very nice to hear you on the satellite today, I hope to hear you
again soon my friend.

May Frank rest in peace and may Martha rest realizing Frank was indeed
doing God's will by his concern and elmering so many folks. He and I (as
I'm sure many of you) spent much time on the air and on the landline
together discussing our great hobby.

Scott,
Frank wasn't a friend of AMSAT! In fact he hated AMSAT and that's why he
started his own private little group. I have attached a screenshot of an
email from him so you can see in his own words how he felt about AMSAT.
I actually think it's pretty ironic that people are mourning his death on
the AMSAT bulletin board.

Please remember Frank was no friend to AMSAT or this community. He proudly
displayed his 'former AMSAT number' on his Bio everywhere he could, he
formed his own organization with the motto of "F$#@ AMSAT_NA!" , encouraged
rovers to not QSL people he didn't like, and at one point made a real life
death threat to fellow operator because he was upset about his grid chasing
style.
I pass my condolences to Frank's friends and family, and I wish no harm nor
ill upon anyone. But let's remember who Frank was before lionizing him on
this Bulletin Board.

While Frank and I had differing opinions on some things, he was hands-down
brilliant in all things satellite related. I am proud to call him my sat
elmer. He was willing to make a sked in the wee early hours to help get me
started and always available to give guidance whenever called upon. His
dedication to the satellite community helped to make it what it is today. I
will sorely miss Fox Echo Golf...rest in peace my friend.? 88 N2PPL
