I \)'!-

Hello!
ls Anyone Out There?
This article appeared in the summer 2007 issue of the QCWA lournal and the
response has been less than stellar. Please read this article and respond. lf you
need help, ask someone from a local chapter or the ham next door.
It's become more and more apparent over the past several years that QCWA is losing history right before
our eyes. This was driven home again when I received notice that Dwight, W2ATM had become a Silent
Key. Dwight was QCWA Member # 2117 .
All I received was a copy of his obituary which was very sparse concerning his amateur experience. After a
Google search on W2ATM I was able to pull together more information on Dwight and add it to his
QCWA SK webpage. lve had the honor of posting 176 SK pages thus far and it s time to take the next
step. lt s time we start honoring our members while they are still among us.
lwant biographies and pictures (high school, college, wedding, 1st birthday, and current would be nice) of
QCWA members that have membership numbers lower than 10,000 or are over B0 years old or are in fail-
ing health. You may also include QSL cards, pictures of your station (include an equipment Iist), almost
anything that pertains to your Ham experience. l'd like the bios as a word doc or a text file. lt would be
nice for the pictures and QSL cards to be in digital format but I do have a scanner. Include a SASE if you
want the pictures returned.
In the future, we ll seek out the next group of younger members.
