There is an AD on QTH selling a 746PRO from "KG4KIU" listed from Joseph May. I hope this is a family member and not a scammer using the deceased call sign.
I googled his call and he was murdered a couple on months ago. This is a sensitive matter but i still think a heads up is in order.

We'll soon find out. I just emailed Mr May and asked why he was using someone else's call sign. It's illegal no matter who is doing it.

It was his son....and the ad has been pulled due to sale of the rig. Any further sales will contain "SK" to alleviate questions.
