I never met Frank, but I must have talked to him via radio for at least 10 years. He was a Helluva Nice Guy and a Great American! Rest in Peace W5RNF!

I enjoyed many, many enjoyable QSO's (Ham radio conversations) with Frank on the "Good Ol' Boys Group" on 40 meters in the evening. He was a very knowledgeable in a host of subjects. What he didn't know right then, he knew where to look for the information, and give it to you with your next contact. I still use one of his antenna designs today!
My deepest condolences to his entire family.
73'es Ol' friend!

Frank was a longtime friend. We had many good times together. Especially visiting museum ships and aircraft museums. Most memorable was operating ham radio on the bridge of the battleship Texas. The wife and I attended breakfast with him once a week. We miss him.
