This is from the contest reflector but not about the arrl dx. It was posted by K1ZM about the passing of W1ZM. I guess all the best contesters in the country have always lived in W1 and W2 land. 1972 was before my time as a ham. Gordon N4LR I first met Jerry at a Murphy's Marauders club meeting held at Roger Kaul's (W1FLM) house in Glastonbury CT.  I recall driving down Roger's street and as I neared his home - the cars lining the driveway were most of the TOP 10 single op finishers in the 1972 ARRL DX CW Test - eg: K1VTM, K1THQ, W1FBY, W1BGD/2, K1ZZ, WB2OEU (K2TR), WA1PID, WA1KID etc - what a talented group of contesters - all in the same club and in the same room!
