Topband: Sad news N5IA SK

[Don Kirk]

Hi Jon,

Thanks for passing this along, and how very sad.  I had a nice brief chat
with Milt on 160 meters CW early this Wednesday morning just as Milt was
heading to bed (his Tuesday night) and will cherish our last QSO
together forever.

73,
Don (wd8dsb)

N5IA's son posted this on Milt's QRZ.com page:

 

"Hello to all of Milt's Amatuer contact, friends, acquaintances and others,

"I am Milt's oldest son Jason, some of you know me, most of you probably
don't.  I have been with him for 47 years, he was my hero.  Today, June 9,
2016.  Milt was on was of his many tower climbing adventures, and by no
choice of his, it became his last.  It is with great sadness that I report
to all of you that today we lost one of the greatest men I know.  He was my
hero.   He left behind Rulene, his loving wife of 49 years, 7 children, 30
grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren and so many, many friends.  His legend
will live on for generations to come.  He loved to help others, especially
in his chosen hobby, Amatuer radio.  He truly cared about his hobby and took
every aspect of it to heart.  Those of you who knew Milt, know how
intelligent he was, and how he loved to share that intelligence with others.
Please feel free to share with anyone who might not read this short post, of
his passing."

 

And here's a news story:

Annd, don't forget that us weak-kneed ops - ps, weak sounding 
signal ops -- may well be QRP participants and we ARE worth twice the point 
value of our "QRO/Low Power brethren"!!!

Ämne: Topband: Summer Stew Perry Topband Distance Challenge - Reminder

The next Stew Perry event will be held on June 18/19th.

This is a CW only 160 meter "distance challenge" where you receive points
for QSOs based upon their distance from you.

Full rules and previous results can be found here:

http://www.kkn.net/stew/

While the middle of summer is a tough time to operate 160 meters for us in
the Northern Hemisphere - this is an ideal time to work some of our friends
in the Southern latitudes.
