[amsat-bb] Norm Mc Sweyn N3YKF SK

Norm, N3YKF, became a Silent Key on 12December2018 after a long battle with a rare form of cancer. He underwent many operations and treatments, spending months in and out of the hospital.

Norm was an experimenter and satellite dxpeditioner. He was constantly working on his "portable" setup which included az/el rotors and CP antennas. He operated from Peru, Guyana, Suriname, San Andres Island, Tobago Island and other rare places. I remember that he took cavities on his second trip to Peru to fight the RF pollution there.

Norm would often post on the amsat-bb in response to requests for help with antenna and rotor problems. He spent most of his time working on his portable setup rather than operating. He will be missed.
