<div>I'll have to look up his call sign. A search of QRZ did not produce a result. </div>

</div>
<div>Yes, he was "Mr. ADO". Knew it inside and out. </div>

<div>I met the guy who designed most of that ADO box last year, Luigi Gallo. What a brain!</div>

David, <br>
I remember he was "Mr. ADO" for quite a few years as well after moving
out there. Didn't he begin doing that at ET? I haven't had any contact
with him in at least twenty years. <br>
If he's still a ham, maybe, in my new found status of being one, I'll
surprise the heck out of him sometime on the air. Any idea what his
call is? <br>
If you see him again, tell him an old friend says hi. He'll get a kick
out of knowing that I'm still knee deep in quads, and probably wont' be
too surprised. <br>
By the way, my request to the FCC for my dad's old call came through a
couple of weeks ago. I am now W5LOO. I hope to get on the air sometime
this spring. <br>
