Dan Elyea of WYFR informs us that renowned shortwave engineer and frequency planner Stanley Leinwoll passed away on 21 February, 2012, aged 85 years.
During his long career in international broadcasting, Stanley worked as Frequency Manager for Radio Free Europe for 27 years, and was a consultant to WYFR Family Radio for 37 years.
He wrote seven books, probably the most well-known being “From Spark to Satellite: A History of Radio Communication.” Stanley was a strong supporter of the idea of holding an HFCC (High Frequency Coordination Conference) in the United States - a goal that was finally realized by the National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters (NASB) in 2011.
