** TAKE A MINUTE TO REMEMBER THEM THIS WEEKEND! If you haven't heard, four
   radio amateurs were killed in plane crash while enroute to operate in
   the CQWW DX SSB Contest from Crooked Island, Bahamas. The tragedy
   happened just after take-off, around 6:30 AM on Wednesday, October 21st,
   when the twin-engine Piper PA-23 plane carrying the four contesters
   crashed into the woods only 250 yards off the end of the runway in
   Jedburg, South Carolina, about 20 miles northwest of Charleston. The
   four radio amateurs were:
     Peter Radding/W2GJ (C6APR) SK - North Charleston, SC; Pilot/Owner
     James "Randy" Hargenrader/K4QO (C6AQO) SK - Summerville, SC
     Edwin F Steeble/K3IXD (C6AXD) SK - Summerville, SC
     E. Dallas Carter/W3PP SK - Laurel, DE
   Details about this tragedy can be found on the Web at:

     http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2009/10/21/11157/?nc=1

 * Since their signal will be missing during the CQWW DX SSB Contest,
   OPDX is requesting/suggesting (out of respect and memory) that the
   contesters world-wide take a pause for 1 minute (complete silence on
   the bands for the one missing station; 15 seconds for each "SK"
   operator) from 0000-0001z, Sunday, October 25th. PLEASE, pass the
   word around.... OPDX and its readers would like to send out deepest
   sympathy to the family and many friends of the above Silent Keys...

*  C6APR Memorial CQWW SSB Station. It was announced that in memory
   of C6APR, the Trident Amateur Radio Club (TARC) will be operating the
   CQWW SSB Contest using the clubs callsign N4EE. They will be operating
   a single station out of W3VT in Summerville, SC, on 75m, 40m, and 20m,
   other bands as conditions permit. Frequencies and times will be
   published at a later time. A special QSL card will be made to memorial-
   ize the C6APR team's accomplishments and tragic loss. Please join them
   during this weekend's contest to remember their fallen friends and
   pass on condolences to their families. Charleston area hams are invited
   to assist with operations. Please contact W3VT for info. QSL will be
   direct with SASE - For LoTW and EQSL confirmation please note on QSL.

A35, TONGA (News and Contest Ops). Paul Kidd, well-unknown as A35RK,
informs OPDX that he has been thinking about if-and-when to use his
special A35A. Paul states, "I had the initial impression that A35A was
restricted to contest/special event use. But that's not the case....it's
a regular every-day callsign, now that the rules have been changed. I
had a chat this morning with Fe'ao Vakata (the radio licensing officer)
about this, and here's what he said: It is his intention to issue A31x
callsigns for visiting contest and special event operations. Basically,
that prefix block is reserved for 'groups', not individuals. The A31xx
block is reserved for other short-term visitors, yachties, etc. The
A35x and A35xx blocks are intended for resident operators, like me. When
he issued me the A35A license, it was with the understanding that I
could use it any way I choose....as a 'regular' call, or as a special
event/contest call. Fe'ao said that it's entirely up to me, and he has
no objections to my using it anyway I want to. Therefore.....Effective
immediately, A35A will be my 'fulltime' callsign....for DXing, contests,
ragchewing, the whole coconut. HI......
  QTH remains the same:  Lifuka Island, Ha'apai Group, IOTA OC-169
  QSL A35A via W7TSQ, W7 Bureau, or LoTW  (No direct mail to Tonga,
               no A3 Bureau)..... 73, Paul Kidd, A35A (A35RK)"

 Look for A35A to be active in the upcoming CQWW DX Contests:

    QSL arrangements pending).
