   Atlantic Division Assistant Director Vivian Douglas, WA2PUU, who was   
   a close friend of Jim's, told the ARRL: "Jim worked with me [in   
   various volunteer capacities] since we became ham friends 38 years   
   ago. He never said 'no' when called -- regardless of weather or   
   conditions. He was proud of being a part of ham radio and the ARRL."

   Gentlemens' agreements ratified by IARU regions 1 and 2 have   
   designated a global "center of activity" frequency  in  each   
   of  the  international  hf  bands.  THese are similar to the   
   concept for weak signal calling and other center of activity   
   frequencies.  Three of these have been ratified worldwide.   
      
   THese  center of activity frequencies are where stations can   
   go to render or obtain emergency assistance.   
      
   WHen casually operating or  contesting  on  hf  please  make   
   yourself  aware  of  these  frequencies,  and give them some   
   space. Remember that often stations with emergency needs are   
   not  those  utilizing  high  gain antennas and maximum legal   
   power.
