[CQ-Contest] SILENT KEY - 8P6CC/VP6WR

[Jim Neiger]

I was saddened today to learn of the passing of my friend Woody 
Richardson, 8P6CC.  At the age of 108..........

I first met Woody in September 1967, and enjoyed some operations from 
his VP6WR station on Barbados.  And Woody hosted my 8P6J operations in 
the ARRL DX CW and CQ WW CW contests, 1980 -82.   We were able to speak 
briefly on his last birthday, New Years' Eve. To make it to 108 must 
surely be a record for ham radio.  RIP Woody.
