[DX-News] Top DX'er is 90 yrs young

2004-01-31 Thread Steve-KF2TI
From the ARRL website.

One of the NJDXA's very own.


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  ;-)   )
