The hams lost were Ed, K3IXD, Pete, W2GJ, Randy, K4QO, and Dallas, KZ4Z. We
will miss them all very much. They were just at our Lowcountry Contest Club
monthly dinner a week ago.

Subject: [digitalradio] Digital CQWW ops lost in plane crash ?
Unconfirmed reports suggest that K4QO and "others" dies in a plane crash
today. Not sure who the "others" were/are.
22/10/2009: Once again Pete/W2GJ, Ed/K3IXD, Dallas/W3PP, and Randy/K4QO will
operate in the Multi-Operator, Two Transmitters (M/2) Class in the CQWW SSB
contest (24-25 October) as C6APR from the Crooked Island Lodge (WW Loc.
FL22TT), Crooked Island (NA-133), The Bahamas. The team will be active from
22-26 October. Before and after the contest look for C6AQO on HF CW and SSB,
and C6AXD on HF RTTY. Both C6AQO and C6AXD will be on 160m through 10m
including the WARC bands. All the QSOs are good for the Bird Rock lighthouse
(ARLHS BAH-005) under the 'visual sight' rule. All QSLs via K3IXD, direct or
bureau. [K3IXD]
4 die in small plane crash near Charleston SC
By BRUCE SMITH (AP) - 6 hours ago
JEDBURG, S.C. - Authorities say four people were killed when a small plane
crashed and burst into flames shortly after departure near the South Carolina
coast.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said agents at
the scene confirmed that four people died in the fiery crash. The twin-engine
Piper PA-23 crashed shortly after departure around 6:45 a.m. Wednesday near the
Summerville airport in a rural area northwest of Jedburg.
Dorchester County Administrator Jason Ward says the plane was fully engulfed
in flames when firefighters arrived. The flight plan indicated the aircraft was
headed to Florida.
Jedburg is around 30 miles northwest of Charleston.
