Re: [IRCA] (was: New MW QSL) Ernest R. Cooper?

Gee John, it sure would be great if someone (hint, hint) could begin 
compiling some of these great stories and biographies. I remember many 
of these names from the 60s and 70s but was just a pup at the time. It 
would be a nice legacy to leave when we've all propagated for the last 
time (become the ultimate groundwaves???). I corresponded with August 
Balbi a few times in the early 70s - a wonderful guy and an absolute 
icon in the world of DXing. He had logs and QSLs we can't even dream 
about today.

Anyway, just a thought.
