+ SILENT KEY + The DX community mourns the loss of Luis Chartarifsky, XE1L,
who was stricken with a major heart attack shortly after returning to San
Diego after the TX5K Clipperton Island DXpedition. A DXer, a contester and
a DXpeditioner, over the years he participated in several major operations,
such as XF4L (1989), 3Y0PI (1994), XR0Y & XR0Z (Easter Island & Salas y
Gomez 1995), XZ0A (2000), 9M0M (Spratly Islands 2001), S07L (2002), TZ6RD
(2003) and 9N7MD (2011). He was also involved in several IOTA activations,
notably from three Mexican "new ones" back in 1993. An on-line condolences
book, set up by the Radio Club Satelite, can be found at
http://www.xe1rcs.org.mx/xe1l.
Other recently reported Silent Keys include Petras Mikalajunas (LY1PM, ex
UP2BBB), Vladimir E. Sviridov (UA6AGK), Aleksandr P. Denisov (UR5FEL) and
Jayant Bharamgonda Patil (VU2JBP, ex VU2JCX).
