"It is with deep sadness that I inform you that our friend Ben, DL6RAI, passed away this morning in an accident while working at his QTH in Aruba.

Ben and I were preparing for the upcoming replacement of the masts in his QTH in P4. Ben was working on the mast when it unexpectedly buckled and fell to the ground. Despite first aid and immediate help from the
ambulance, we could not save Ben.

My deepest condolences to Luise, DL2MLU and the family.

In deep sorrow,
Martin, P4/DL5RMH"

I too am deeply shocked. Our thoughts are with his wife Luise and family.

RIP Ben.

2. CY0S QSL cards

Here is an update on the CY0S QSL cards...

The CY0S QSL cards are currently being printed. The QSL card consists of six panels with two folds. We expect to receive the cards from the printer in approximately two weeks. Bill K5DHY will be handling the OQRS and bureau cards while Murray WA4DAN will be handling the direct cards. Both Bill and Murray are prepared to start QSLing the day we receive the cards. We estimate this process to take 3-4 weeks once the CY0S cards are delivered from the print company. If all goes well we hope to complete the QSL process by late June.

73,
Murray WA4DAN
