[SJDXA] DX Hall of Fame nomination

Thu Feb 28 22:22:03 EST 2013

This is like a weird alignment of my DX Stars.  When I was forced from  my 
home in the Sovereign State Of South Jersey and sent to the far off land of  
North Carolina (darn bank!), I was lucky to meet Gary, K4MQG and the other  
members of the Carolina DX Association.  Since that time,  Gary has  been a 
good friend and someone I would be glad to support for this honor.   His DX 
accomplishments are easy to enumerate as Bob has.  Beyond that he is  a 
warm and genuine person, a supportive friend and a true gentleman.   Please 
accept my AYE in favor of his nomination and my endorsement of Bob's  request.
