Thanks for passing along the sad news, Joel. I've known Ben since I was a kid. He has always been encouraging and positive and just a good example of what ham radio is all about. He worked a lot of DX, I think including 300 countries mobile. He said he had a "high spot" on his farm that he would drive to when a good one was on. I always wanted to see that high spot in the flatlands!

We'll miss him!

73,

ADXA Folks,

I am very saddened to report that Ben Tomlinson, W5MQ, long time ADXA member, BIG GUN DXer, and close friend became SK yesterday.

You will recall we elected Ben as an Honorary Lifetime ADXA Member at our last annual conference.
