Peter Radding/W2GJ (C6APR), James "Randy" Hargenrader/K4QO (C6AQO), Edwin F Steeble/K3IXD (C6AXD), E. Dallas Carter/W3PP.
Since their signal will be missing during the CQWW DX SSB Contest, 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.... 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- prize 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.
