From the 425dx bulletin.      I remember my first QSO with Tom.  He wanted to rag chew, and just 
made the day for this new DXer


+ SILENT KEYS + "The Voice of Pitcairn" that over the years gave many  DXers
their first QSO with this DXCC Entity is no longer with us.  Tom  Christian,
VP6TC/VR6TC, MBE passed away on 7 July at 78 years of  age.  First  licensed
in 1957,  he  was  the  President  of  the  Pitcairn  Island  Amateur  Radio
Association when Ducie Island became  eligible  for  DXCC  credit  (November
2001) as a result of a favourable vote to accept PIARA as  an  International
Amateur Radio Union member-society. He also served for forty  years  on  the
Pitcairn Island Council as the Governor's Representative.
