Fellow Members:

I have been notified by Herbert Bloemen (Holland) that Kurt Bandstetter, from Vienna, has died.  Kurt joined the Premium List in October, 2002.  As noted in his Bio (see below), Kurt had 343 DXCC confirmed.  His web site, http://ns4.swl.net/oe1002419/swl.htm , is still operational.  It truly is an amazing display, containing a photograph of each of his QSL cards, receivers, etc.
