For those who might not be aware of it yet, long-time contester John Crovelli W2GD/P40W sustained an injury when a 30’ tower he was working on in Maine fell with him on it.  He has sustained some serious injuries but is expected to make a full recovery eventually.  I talked to the hospital (Maine Medical Center in Portland, ME a few minutes ago and John is still in the Special Care unit (apparently the same as ICU) but they have very little information at this time on how long he will be there before being moved.  There are no phones in those rooms (which is probably because John is mainly a CW op) but I am sure info will filter out soon. 

 

You can find more details in the towertalk@contesting.com archives for today.
