Top DXer turns 90! Top DXCC Honor Roller Ben Stevenson, W2BXA, of Colonia, New Jersey, celebrated his 90th birthday January 25. The ARRL DXCC Desk reports the new nonagenarian stands at 391 overall entities, in a tie with Ed Hawkins, K6ZO, who will turn 90 himself in February 2005. "The most anyone could ever work is 393--335 current and 58 deleted," explains ARRL DXCC Manager Bill Moore, NC1L, "so 391 is currently the highest achieved." On phone, Stevenson is currently the DXCC top dawg at 389 total entities, Moore notes. Fellow North Jersey DX Association member Howard Wolfe, W2AGW--who was tied with W2BXA and K6ZO at the top of the pile--died in December 2002 at age Ben's a sweetie (just stay out of his way in the pile-ups ;-) ) ---------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40njdxa.org ----------------------------------------------------------
