QSL IV3OWC ---> Claudio has been informed that quite a few cards are being
returned to sender with "Silent Key" stamped on them. Claudio is alive and in
good health, but please note that since he has no access to the QSL bureau,
cards for IV3OWC, ST2CF (2003) and 9E1C (Ethiopia 1999-2000) should be sent
direct only to Claudio Fabbro, Via Casale Coloset 3, 33030 Moruzzo - UD,
Italy.
QSL FT5ZH ---> The FT5ZH (November-December 1998) logs will be closed on 1
January 2006. Those who still need a card should send their request direct
only to F6KDF: Radio Club de la Gendarmerie, 292 Route de Genas, 69677 Bron
Cedex, France. [TNX F6KDF]
QSL VIA YB9BU ---> Kadek would like to remind once more that when requesting
a direct card from him, IRCs are far better than green stamps, as the latter
might get "lost".
+ SILENT KEY + The DX community mourns the passing of Hugh A. Cassidy,
WA6AUD, who left us on 9 September at 88 years of age. Quoting Jarmo Jaakola,
OH2BN, The Daily DX remembers Cass as "a truly towering figure in DX, a
source of great inspiration, a literary genius who had the unique talent to
express in words some of our innermost feelings, who was capable of touching
the human soul with his pen, with a message that transcended geographic
boundaries, language barriers". Give a look to a few issues of The West Coast
DX Bulletin, of which Cass was the editor for eleven years, and read a few of
his delightful DX Stories on K2CD's web site at
http://www.geocities.com/k2cddx/index.html
