Bob White W1CW, custodian of the ARRL's DXCC program for a quarter century
during the heyday of the DXPedition, and member of the CW DX Hall of Fame,
had a heart attack on Wednesday.  He will be requiring bypass surgery on
Monday next week.  Three of the veins supplying his heart were found to be
clogged - one of them 99% blocked.

In addition to being an upstanding kind of guy, he has done much to support
Ham Radio over the years including being a charter member of the Florida
Contest Group, K4FCG.

He is at:

University Community Hospital
Room 402-A
3100 E. Fletcher Avenue
Tampa, FL 33613-4688

...please do not telephone as he looks like the back of the operating desk
at a multi-multi, with lines going everywhere!

Get well notes can be sent care of his wife, Ellen, W1YL at
