* Howard W. Wolfe, W2AGW, SK: DXCC top Honor Roller Howard W. "Howie"
Wolfe, W2AGW, of Harrington Park, New Jersey, died December 7. He was 95.
"Howie was one of the 'true blue DXers!'" said QST "How's DX?" Editor
Bernie McClenny, W3UR. Wolfe had worked every possible DXCC entity except
Damao Diu (CR8)--which was deleted (he worked French Indo China, FI8, also
now on the deleted list, but never got a QSL card). First licensed as 2AGW
in Brooklyn, New York in 1926, Wolfe was a member of the ARRL and the
North Jersey DX Association. A couple of years ago in QST, McClenny noted
that Wolfe was "always the last man standing in the DXCC count up" at the
Dayton DX dinner. CW was his favorite mode. Friends may post tributes to
the NJDXA's W2AGW memorial page
