[CQ-Contest] W9BRD SK

[James Cain]

Rod Newkirk, W9BRD, died on Monday, November 19, in Ontario. For many of us in the 1960s and 1970s, reading his QST "How's DX?" column was *the* reason to open QST. 

An obit is on the ARRL web site. 

I visited Rod for a couple of days in the fall of 1990 and published a profile of him in March, 1991, QST. Rod sent me a beautiful letter thanking me for the profile and I think he'd like for you to read it.
