Noted author, EME'er, VHF/UHF antenna and amplifier designer and owner of Lunar-Link Systems, Steve Powlishen K1FO ("K One Far Out") became a SK on Saturday July 28.
And, whilst only a few of us would have had the chance to work or meet Steve, his antenna and amplifier designs have graced many stations in VK/ZL over the years.
The memoirs being shared on some of the EME reflectors not only describe a talented amateur, but a true gentleman who shared his passion and experience with others.

Another one of the 'greats' who contributed extensively to help shape our hobby has been lost.
RIP Steve.

Sad to hear about Steve.
I had a few conversations with him via e-mail when we were running some Lunar-Link 70cm amps in an ISM application.
Very nice bloke,very helpful,& really knew his stuff.
