[Dx-qsl] QSL received - VK9NS

[Dave Reynolds]

Just to put my 2 cents worth in, I met Jim one nite on 20m when he was 
trying to maintain a QSO with Tom Christian without much luck as they were 
too close and too much noise so I broke in and asked if I could relay for 
them and they gladly accepted as I could hear them both fb. That is how I 
met them both and anytime I would work either one of them they always 
remembered me. Yes Jim will be sorely missed as he was really a stand up 
guy.
