WR-897 John passed away from an aneurysm on Aug 15 and left the hearts of friends and family missing him greatly.

I heard him, (World Radio 897) DXing on a couple Watergates (Why aren't they called Radiogates?) a while ago and played them for him before he died, but now I can't find them though I've spent not hours but DAYS listening to everything I could find on youtube. He liked LSB Ch.38 and enjoyed DXing.

If ever you come across his voice please email the link to me at wimpyradios at gmail dot com.

His family & I will be very appreciative!

Sorry to hear of his passing Bastage. They are called "watergates" as a form of sarcasm towards the Nixon scandal of the same name because it involved secret recordings of phone conversations. i.e. recordings of CB transmissions aka "watergates" Make sense now?

Yeah, I follow that, but Radiogates would still hold fast to the "gates" aspect but just seems to me to fit a little better within the hobby of radio.

Either way, I'd love to hear the big guy's voice one more time.
