What a magnificent surprise was waiting for me after New Years! I received a card from whomever is handling QSL details for Ron Ford, C56RF (SK, was also G3NKO). As you know, Ron was murdered in The Gambia in September and I'd seriously doubted that the pending requests would be answered, but much to my delight, the card was received this afternoon, postmarked 11/Dec/2002 with all info correct. - pjd
