This update is from Barry – K2MF

I have some news on 3 SKs that I didn’t know about before. I happened to be looking up people who were still listed as being alive and present in the first 200 G#s and sadly, I found 3 who are now no longer with us:

G# 157 W2OJ Bill NJ – QRZ reports him as a silent key with no date. I was NOT able to find a corresponding obituary.

G# 170 W5FRG  Brent AR – His call sign was reissued to his son in September 2020 as reported on his QRZ page.

G#198 W4YH Lee AL – QRZ reports him as a silent key and has a link to his obit.

Thanks Barry, for these updates. May these GERATOLers, and all who are no longer with us, rest in peace.

Once again, thanks to all who worked me while I was remote from several different states so far this season, and for the QSL cards you sent, confirming QSO’s with those remote stations from which I transmitted.

This past week I sent out quite a few cards, and today sent out another batch to those who had mailed me QSL cards, confirming the QSO’s. Please keep an eye out for the cards coming in, and if there is anyone who feels I missed a card back to them, just drop a note to: n1kl@arrl.net and I can recheck my log, which was a bit rough, while I was in Florida.

Above is an example of the REMOTE cards I will be sending out, and note the state from which I operated remotely, is shown in the yellow box on all the cards.

Below is how the back of the cards look:
