We lost another DX icon. 

G3NUG, Neville Cheadle, unexpectedly passed away Sunday "after a knee 
replacement operation". Neville was first licensed in 1959. He was an 
accomplished DXer, DXpeditioner and writer with a claim of over 370 
DXCC countries and was on the RSGB IOTA Honour Roll with 1027 islands 
confirmed. Neville was a former President and Chairman of the Chiltern 
DX Club as well as the Chairman of the former DXpedition group Five 
Star DXers. He led the T32C (2011), 3B7C (2007), 3B9C (2004), D68C 
(2001) and 9M0C (1998) DXpeditions. It should be noted D68C set a 
record number of QSOs with 168,695 contacts, which was later broken by 
four other DXpeditions including T32C which still holds the number one 
spot with an amazing 213,022 QSOs. G3NUG was inducted into the CQ DX 
Hall of Fame in 2009. He also co-edited "DXpeditioning, Behind the 
Scenes", a great reference manual for DXpeditioners and DXers alike. 
Letters or cards of condolences can be sent to: Trish Cheadle, 1
