The hams lost were Ed, K3IXD, Pete, W2GJ, Randy, K4QO, and Dallas, KZ4Z. We will miss them all very much. They were just at our Lowcountry Contest Club monthly dinner a week ago. 73 Skip KH6TY - Original Message - From: obrienaj To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 6:19 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Digital CQWW ops lost in plane crash ?

Of course, our sincerest condolences to family and friends of these very active ham breathren. 73, N1FNE _ From: nts-...@yahoogroups.com [mailto:nts-...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of W2RU - Bud Hippisley Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 5:54 PM To: EAN Reflector; EAS Reflector Subject: [NTS-EAN] W2GJ (SK) I've just learned that Pete Radding, W2GJ, and three other hams were killed when Pete's small plane crashed on take-off from an airport in SC. Pete and I spent a half-hour or so at this past September's Traffic Handlers' Picnic chatting about his many trips to Barbados (C6) to operate in the DX contests. This was such a flight, for the CQ WW Phone DX Contest this weekend. Also reported killed were K3IXD, K4QO, and W3PP. Also at the September picnic was Pip, WB4FDT, who often operated from W3PP's station in DX contests. It is a very small world, suddenly made smaller and sadder by this morning's terrible event.
