I worked Marty many times when he was at PJ2T. In fact, Marty gave me all the contact information for the hams in the Midwest who ran the station and encourage me to rent the site. N6KD, Dennis, and I did and had a great week there quite a while ago now. We ate at the hotel each evening which I understand is now closed...pre Covid. <br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">A heck of a nice guy, never saw a minute of irritation from Marty. He will be missed both on the air and at the NW PVRC meetings in Frederick. Long intending to visit his shack, I never made it happen sorry to say. I have not seen Marty for some time and did not know of his illness.<br></div><div><br></div><div class="ydp17c12329signature">73, Jim W3NRJ</div></div>

I was privileged to be given a tour of his station north of Baltimore not far from the Pennsylvania border, on a slight rise but with a great view to the horizon in all directions. He had acquired several sections of Rohn tower which he intended to put up, but with his great radio location he quickly found that AB-577 military surplus masts were all he needed to work the DX he was chasing, and the Rohn tower sections remained laying on the side of his driveway for the duration.</div><div class="ydp164aafdcyiv4909262521gmail_default" style="font-size:large;"><br></div><div class="ydp164aafdcyiv4909262521gmail_default" style="font-size:large;">Marty was always of a friendly, congenial disposition and was a great fount of DX knowledge.
