  I am sad to report that Bruce W. Butler, W6OSP, became a Silent Key on January 16, 2014.

   

  Bruce originally was licensed as W5PXN in New Mexico in 1950. Upon moving to Southern California in the early 1970’s, Bruce changed his callsign to W6OSP and activated that callsign in Napa, CA in the mid-1980’s.

   

  In 1990, Bruce joined the Board of the Northern California DX Foundation as its Treasurer, and served as the Foundation’s President from 2009 until his retirement at the end of 2011.  Bruce was a member and past President of the Redwood Empire DX Club, and a member of both the Northern California DX Club and the Northern California Contest Club.  He also was a 50 plus year member of the American Radio Relay League.

   

  Bruce operated from a number of DX entities including 3B9, 4O, A6, KH8, H40, HV, KH4, PJ7 and ZF.

   

  Working with Bruce in the NCDXF was a real pleasure for me. His energy was boundless and he was always looking for ways to help activate those “most needed” entities.  Amateur radio, and the DX community in particular, has lost a champion; I have lost a great friend.

   

  Rusty Epps, W6OAT

  President, NCDXF
