Many thanks, John, though I bet you're now going to get a pile of 
contributions saying "but, you didn't mention..."

Mine would be to add to John Bryant's bio, that he was one of the 
driving forces behind "Proceedings", collections of peer-reviewed, 
mainly technical, articles related to MW and SW DXing, that appeared 
between 1988 and 1995.  Much of that was Gordon Nelson class 
material, and, I suspect affected the way that many DXers approached 
the hobby in the years following.

And each individual club (including IRCA) has many unsung heroes that 
have mainly contributed to the overall hobby via their club.

Of course, where does history cut off?   There are folks doing things 
today that I'm sure historians will regard as important, Bruce 
Portzer's Pacific Asian log, Herman Boel's European/African Medium 
Wave Guide for example.

And mentioning Herman brings up the fact that over the years, there 
has been some pretty interesting hobby related stuff  going on in 
Europe as well, and given that the DX hobby, through the internet, is 
now truly a worldwide activity, that history also is relevant to 
North Americans.

Now, who among us is retired, historically inclined, and looking for 
something to fill those idle hours, hi.



best wishes,

Nick
