Jake passed away January 7th of this year. He truly enjoyed amateur radio and kept his license up many, many years. His call-sign was W7SOC.  He would have loved to talk about the good old days in amateur radio with you, like back in the 50's and 60's.  Back when there were only tubes and sets were built from scratch. (Mrs. Patricia Jacobson)
