[NCDXA] [PVRC] Looking for ex N4ZR Peter Huber

[Bill Mullin]

Thanks to everyone for the information.  I remember Pete as one of the 
nicest hams I met during my 22 years living in the DC area.  I vividly 
remember an NCDXA in-person meeting which he hosted in his home in Bowie 
and another in the Capitol building, amazing!  He will be missed . . .
