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.
