Ronald G. Crouse, N7EA from Saint Helens, Oregon, USA, passed away.
Information received from K7LXC.
Ron Crouse, W7EA, passed away recently. He was the owner of Dunestar and died of some degenerative disease. He was W7GJS when I got my Novice in Moses Lake, WA and he was a young broadcast engineer when I first met him. It took me awhile - a page and a half in my log book - to make my first contact and that was only after Ron came over and diagnosed a poor PL259 solder job. He eventually wound up in St. Helens, OR, where he started Dunestar and made many contest useful filters and other products. He was a good guy and like some of us, made his hobby his vocation. I was glad to know him. Cheers,Steve K7LXC
