Nick Leggett Dies; Was Advocate for Microcasting and LPFM:

Nickolaus Leggett, an important proponent in the early days of the low-power FM movement in the United States, has died. He was an electronics technician, analyst, technical writer and inventor who held multiple U.S. patents, but may be best known to Radio World readers as one of the original petitioners for "microstation radio broadcasting," which grew into the LPFM movement. He also lobbied for reform to amateur radio antenna rules. A colleague in both of those efforts, attorney Don Schellhardt, told RW that Leggett died April 26 in Virginia after a long fight with cancer and would be remembered with a family ceremony on Martha's Vineyard. Schellhardt visited Leggett a couple of weeks prior to his death and said his friend remained "full of spirit and passion," especially in opposition to "those who oppose basic civil liberties."
