Bruce, Thanks for reminding me, Bill Nittler did come to Seaside in 2010. I had not seen him in years until I think Albuquerque in 2009. I don't remember if he was in SLC in 2008. He was really a nice guy and supported DXWW-West often. Also a very good QSLer through the years. 73, Patrick Patr

Really sad. He attended the Albuquerque IRCA convention in 2009. One of the orig charter members that started the IRCA in 1964. A very active QSLer through the years too. We lost two greats of late, Don Kaskey and Bill Nittler. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager __

Had not seen anything on any of the discussion lists that I belong to, so I was rather surprised to get this in my inbox just a few minutes ago.  I had the opportunity to visit with Bill on at least one occasion (the 2011 NRC convention in Omaha) and possibly another (I THINK he attended the
