[QCWA Hotlist] A New Area on the QCWA Website

[B Roske]

Good Morning,

It's become more and more apparent over the past several years that we 
(QCWA) are losing our history right before your eyes.  This was driven home 
again last night when I received notice that Dwight, W2ATM had become a 
Silent Key on May 29th.  Dwight was QCWA Member # 2117.

All I received was a copy of his obituary which was very sparse.  After 
googling W2ATM I was able to pull together more information on Dwight and 
add it to his QCWA SK web page ( http://www/qcwa.org/w2atm-sk.htm).

I've had the honor of posting 132 SK pages thus far 
(http://www.qcwa.org/silent-keys-date.htm) and it's time to take the next 
step.  It's time we start honoring our members while they are still among 
us.

I'm proposing a new area for the QCWA Website and I need your help.  So I 
can keep up, I'd like you to interview and gather pictures (high school or 
collage graduation and current would be nice) of QCWA members that have 
membership numbers lower than 3500, are over 90 or are in failing health. 
You may also include QSL cards, pictures of their stations, almost anything 
that pertains to their Ham experience

I don't expect you to do this yourself, but I hope you will see that it gets 
done.
In the future, we'll seek out the next set of younger members.

Submit everything to me at broske at hutchtel.net

tnx es 73,
Bob, N0UF
QCWA Webmaster

PS:  You may get this twice, I'm sending it to both reflectors
