Here are some pictures taken on our recent trip to Panama City to see
Bud Peirce, W4KIX, a NTS legend. Bud, in his earlier years, was
real active in Alabama, being AENB net mgr plus other ARRL
appointments.
Next month Bud will be 94 years young.
He normally runs 800 watts plus on all bands. Several weeks or so ago
one side of his open wire feed line broke adjacent to a terminal mast
on the flat roof of his garage about a foot from an insulator at top of
this mast.. He had to operate at reduced power due to this problem.
My # 3 daughter, Lorie, and I went up on the roof and repaired it under
the guidance of Bud. He is now back to his normal power.
