My Memories of Dave Rank KO6RS\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I was intoroduced to Dave almost 20 years ago. and visited him at home in Aptos on many occaisions. Our common interest was the science of amateur (Ham) radio and in particular HF antennas. Dave introduced me to antenna modeling which became the foundation for our joint experiments from then on. We began to meet 1on1 regularly at Surf City Coffee in Aptos.<\/p>\n

Some of our designs became sucessful projects which included a Moxon beam combined with a Yagi. Dave desinated it a MOGI. Another was a dual 2m 70 yagi which I laced with plastic ivy to become a steath antenna. The design of a 4 element dual band 20\/17m beam used an unusual combination of driven and parasitic elements and still is the principal antenna\u00a0 at my home in KY.<\/p>\n

Dave and I often argued vigorously which I believe was good for both of us. He became a close friend\u00a0and later on I only stopped visiting him at his request.<\/p>\n
