8R1WD ---> "Following on from my recent e-mail informing of the passing of
Peter, 8R1J", says Phil Whitchurch (G3SWH), "some helpful soul has taken it
upon himself to amend the entry on QRZ.com to show that Peter, 8R1WD had
become a 'silent key'. To quote Mark Twain, reports of Peter's death are very
much exaggerated and neither was he too pleased to learn of his passing!"
Phil has managed to get the entry on QRZ.com corrected.

improvement to his ADXO (Announced DX Operations) listing
