    Bill Harshbarger N9NBW helped me get started in the world of Ham Radio. I fell in love with radio communications at a young age and Bill directed me on the process to get my radio license and I got my father Mark to get his as well. It was an honor to know Bill and the entire family. I send my deepest sympathy to your family and you are in my prayers!!
