Henryk got it right. I've known Jim for a long time and he's one of the nicest guys ever to get a license. 73, Dave, W6AQ

Amen to W6AQ's comment. Jim McCook (Cooker, to many of us) and I have been friends (he's also a world-class DENTIST) for over 30 years, and he truly is one of the nicest men one can ever know.

And a great operator too. While he barely tolerates contesting, Jim is invariably the first Zone 3 into my ZD8Z logs on the high bands. An amazingly smooth CW operator, a tribute to Cooker (by Henryk) is long overdue, and much appreciated by all who know W6YA.

What a nice tribute to one of my heores! As W6AQ and N6TJ pointed out, Jim is certainly a really great friend and one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. 40m in the evenings here wouldn't be the same without him. Happy birthday, Jim!

- James, 9V1YC

A hero? Contesters are funny :-)

Quite possibly a good operator, no doubt able to accumulate more hardware than the average ham.

Interesting article and Jim W6YA (very nice callsign Hi! Hi!, for the people who do not get it look at my callsign) seems like a nice guy. I would like to meet Jim W6YA once, as I always wanted to meet to the guy who has the callsign before me.

73 to all,
Andrew, proud to be W6YB
