Thanks for passing this along.

I too was a big fan of his show, and actually won a couple 
of records from his contests over the years.

He was not a ham, at least he wasn't when he was doing his 
all night show. I heard him say that once when he read a PSA 
for a local ham radio license class.

He also had some hart issues at some point.

Jack Fox told me that he had started selling off his record 
collection on Ebay because nobody in his family wanted to do 
anything with it.

I just heard that former WHAS personality Joe Donovan passed 
away on January
19th at the age of 70.  Episode 236 of All Things Radio has 
quite a bit on
him including a 1977 air check.  He was always one of my 
favorite radio
people, and his all night rock and roll revival show was by 
far the best
oldies show on the air at the time.  I don't know if he was 
a ham or not.
