Like many DN08, is in my log from Wilse. Worked him only once, from my parking lot at work no HO-68. Got a great looking QSL card from him. I'll now have to move it to the section in my book for SK's.
My deepest sympathies to his family & friends.

Hi!
I saw this on the ARRL web site this afternoon:
http://www.arrl.org/news/view/wilse-morgan-wx7p-ex-kl7cq-sk
I worked Wilse many times between 2006 and 2011 on the satellites (my last QSO with him was logged in late April 2011), and he was the only station I ever worked from his home grid DN08. I saw him at Dayton a couple of times in that period working at the AMSAT booth.
The Spokane DX Association has an article about his passing on its home page:
and a separate page specifically about him:
73.....
