Karl well, reading nobody else. Coos reported
perfect weather, up to 26c.
SM0DMJ Karl also left before the contest ended but I
did not really copy Karl.
Joe W0TBC a bit light. Jim got him at times but not
well enough for conversation.
Joe reported that he has no e-mail address now.
John WA9AQN had had the company of a Youth Exchange
student for a few weeks
A student from Reinbach, Germany. He was a CW
enthusuast, sharing John's hobby.
Jim W1QUO apologised for his e-mail box becoming
over-subscribed. He will clear it soon.
His seaside holiday was sadly terminated early due
to a death in the family.
They had to leave Ogunquit after one day and return
to Leominster.
Our sympathies and best wishes Jim !

Dear friends

Sunday August 7.
On Sunday 14, I will be in Montreal, Canada, but
only for a brief visit.
I look forward to meeting you again on the ANZO
net on Sunday August 21.
Kind regards Klaus, HB9CQS
From John Maier W8AUV
Good Day Gentlemen:
I noticed in QST (August Issue) the SK status of
Donn Nottage. W8JGP. Donn was an
acquaintance of mine when we both lived in
Cincinnati, Ohio 25 years ago. Donn lived in
Skaneateles, NY, USA. Donn is listed in the 2005-06
(ROAR) Directory.
I have no idea as to his actual death date our
cause. 73, John W8AUV
(See his entry in QRZ.com. - g4yze)
N.B e-mail addresses.
The following addresses are incorrect in the new
Directory. : -
John Betts G4HMG is now - johng4hmg @yahoo.co.uk
And a new one, Pete EA7GSU has got his e-mail
installed now.
And finally, Joe W0TBC has no e-mail access at
present.
