[IRCA] John Bryant

[Chernos Saul <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I share the heartbreak expressed so eloquently here. I never met John, but he did stand out from the pack in many respects - you could tell from the quality of his posts.

 

I saved his article from - I think - Monitoring Times, where he wrote about his DX from and visit to Easter Island. A remarkable story. My favourite part was not about the DX but the wild horses checking him out, scant inches away from the vehicle window. But, of course, he reported on the wonderful DX he had there, and how different things came in depending on the hour. Inspiring, indeed, for someone like me who lacks relative experience. Indeed, one reason I clipped John's article is because, one day, I can see making a trip similar to that. That article is perhaps the only documentation of DXing from that isolated spot, and so it will stay in my 'DXpeditions' file. If I ever do make it to Easter Island, John will be in my thoughts.

 

Reading the posts here tonight, I can tell he had an accomplished life, and there were many who respected and loved him, and will miss him. My thoughts are with his family and his many close friends.

 

Saul
