Corwin Moore- SK

I just received word that Corwin (WB8UPM) died on Sept 6, at
age 77.

I certainly remember Corwin's famous tower west of Ann Arbor;
I climbed it at least half a dozen times (loosely circa 1980) to do
antenna work.  Corwin was a stalwart member of the ARROW
(Amateur Radio Repeater Of Washtenaw) club based in Ann
Arbor.

There is a lengthy article about him on the ARROW website
at W8RP.org.  Note that W8RP was the same Roy Purchase
that was mentioned in recent emails on LWTG; Roy was the
owner and proprietor of Purchase Radio in Ann Arbor.
