Electrocuted While Helping Another Amateur

Beloved DXer, contester and referee for WRTC this year - Richard King, K5NA, of Texas, had become a Silent Key just a week ago. He was electrocuted while helping another amateur take down a Yagi from a tower. The antenna hit a live power line and he was thrown to the ground and died shortly thereafter. A very tragic reminder here that safety, safety, safety always comes first and that doesn’t always mean just wearing a helmet or a belt.
