I heard we lost 4040. He was a great Radio Operator. I enjoyed watching his video gates. I made the trip to him when I had conditions on the West Coast a few times over the years. RIP Brother! You will be missed.

Wow, that caught me off guard a bit. Last Hamfest I went to at DeAnza college, one of the guys there (Dago) told me that Scott had a stroke and it had blurred his vision. But his prognosis was supposed to be fair. Then I heard yesterday that Scott had yet another stroke and it didn't look good. Today on Facebook, I read the announcement on Scott's blog there that he had died.
One of the first local guys that I talked to when I got back on the radio in '08. Scott and his buddy Dago showed up for a couple of the 'Sidebanders' club luncheons at Sam's BBQ and we all had a great time. The really sad part to all of this, is that Scott's very young son (<6 y.o.) will be without his Dad when growing up. My condolences to his family. Great guy to talk to on the radio, and a fine friend and local radio operator. You will be missed, Scott.

So sorry to hear this. Prayers sent to his family. I have also watched many of his youtube videos and had hoped someday to talk to him on the air. He will always be a legend of the radio. RIP my friend.
Always enjoyed his gates and listening to him talking dx and singing his song, setting on the dock of the bay, dx on channel 28 will never be the same RIP 4040..
A moment of silence.
Lots of us gave 4040 a bad time now and then, but the man was always working DX, rolling the gate, and enjoying the hobby.
