Dave Kennedy N4SU passed away Monday evening after failing health the past several months. Dave was one of the truly great DX'ers and was at the top of DXCC Honor Roll for many years. Dave became interested in 160 in the 1980's and reached DXCC 295 and WAZ there before health problems prevented him from operating. From Dave's page on QRZ.com: "63 years on the air starting with W9TWC in Indy from 1935 to 1941, then, after WW2, W8BRA in Ohio from 1946 to 1966, then W9KSY and W9DL in northern Illinois 1966 until 1978, then, finally, N4SU in North Carolina from 1978 to 1998. In recent years, my primary interest has been DXing on 160 meters, the LAST DX frontier. DXing on the other HF bands is like shooting fish in a barrel. 73 to all DXers, Dave Kennedy N4SU" Dave is survived by his wife Sonja and one daughter. Sonja has requested that anyone wishing to make a memorial in his name contribute to: Hospice of Stokes County PO Box 10 Danbury, NC 271016 Services for Dave will be held Monday at 1:30 PM at the Salisbury National Cemetery (directions below). http://www.cem.va.gov/nchp/salisbury.htm If any of you would like to write a short note in memory of Dave, please reply directly to me. I will collate everything and give Sonja a copy on Monday. Rest in peace Dave...you will be missed by all of us. 73, Bill W4ZV _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list Topband@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/topband |
