I am very sorry to report that Rod W7OM G# 1834 became a silent key on 11/30/2022.
This from K7SS in a CW group:

Today we lost a giant of PNW DXing and Contesting, Rod W7OM.
He did not survive a medical procedure.
Just this weekend in the CQWW CW he had over 500 DX Q’s LP and was feeling fine.
I dont think there’s been a contest over the last 7 decades that didnt find W7OM in many many logs.
Rod leaves a big hole in the amateur radio family and will be very missed on the bands by so many.
RIP OM
Danny K7SS
