[SCCC] Don Doughty W6EEN SK ( Jam 16, 2009 )

[Glenn Rattmann]

I note an error in the news about W6EEN.  It may seem like a small 
thing, but I think Don would want it corrected:

Don was probably a member of NCDXC (since he used to live in the Bay 
area), BUT the statement which mentions his support of NCDXC I 
believe refers actually to NCDXF.  I saw the original email where 
this 'typo' occurred, and unfortunately it was picked up and relayed 
by several people and ARRL.

Don was a major contributor to NCDXF for many years, and we discussed 
this often when I was visiting him, helping to construct his station 
10-12 years ago.  Take a look at the home page of NCDXF.

73, Glenn K6NA
