Many of you saw and or met Tom, KB4HQA, this weekend in Dayton at the CrownePlaza. He is an awesome guy, a great friend and is a behind the scenes superstar for contesting. He was the brain power and hardware supplier for the contest webcam from the Crowne Plaza that many watched who could not attend Dayton. 

On the way to the airport Sunday morning Tom was in a terrible car crash. He is now in ICU with a broken neck and a broken shoulder. His blood pressure was critically low yesterday after surgery - so that is why they are keeping him in ICU. There is no nerve damage. After a long hospital stay and a ton of rehab - he should be OK. 

I talked to Tom today (he is in tremendous pain) and all he wanted to tell me was that he is sorry for the delays in getting the video recordings from the weekend posted for guys to watch. Tom is always thinking of others. 

Please keep Tom in your prayers. Cards (to the KB4HQA address on qrz.com) and email well wishes encouraged.  kb4hqa at hqaradio.com
