[Dx-qsl] FH8CB

[K2EWB]

Hi Chris,

I asked my friend F2YS who new Elio quite well if he could help you with 
your request for information.
Below is his answer.  Perhaps you can E-mail someone else on Renunion Isle 
and ask if he knows who has Elio's logs.

73,

Leon,  (K2EWB

Hello Leon,

Well, this is somewhat of a puzzle and since I haven't talk to him since 
probably the same time frame (1992), I did a bit of research and found out 
the following:

As shown below, he was listed in the Reunion Island by the end of 2003 
unless someone having the same exact name is reflected here!

Informations datées du 31/12/2003.



Then searching further, still by name because the search by call sign did 
not return anything, I found the current information, updated May 8,2007. 
Unfortunately, as you can see (third line down the listing)  Elio is listed 
as "passed away".

Sorry, I could not give you some better news and obviously also the bad news 
for Chris, W2PA.

  Jacques...

  I hope all is well with you and the family.

  Maybe you know where Elio FH8CB can be reached. His call is no longer 
listed on QRZ.com.

  I'd like to help W2PA. See his message below.

  73,

  Leon

    Can anyone here point me to a valid QSL route (if any) for FH8CB, QSO in 
1992.
    The address I had, Elio Fontaine, Box 50, Dzaoudzi, F-97610 Mayotte, 
France, did not work - bounced back after 2 months in the mail.

    Tnx, 73,
