[IRCA] Wayne Plunkett

[Chernos Saul <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sad news - Wayne Plunkett passed away a couple of weeks ago. He was 72 and had cancer for at least the last couple of years.

I know quite a few of you will know Wayne, whose DX activities go well back into the 50s. Though he veered more into consulting work in recent years, he was always interested in knowing what was going on in the DX world, and every so often he'd report catches to me. He had a sharp eye for detail and would notice immediately even the tiniest error in a station directory. But he was an absolute fan of all these efforts - I can picture him trying right now to convince the late Bruce Elving to publish yet another edition of the FM Atlas!

Condolences can be sent to his family c/o Linda and Larry Folliott at

Wayne has deeply involved with Canadian radio history and left behind an estimated 15-16 boxes of magazines, books and handwritten notes about radio, mainly Canadian radio. Without any specific instructions regarding what should be done with it. I'm helping family members identify what's there, and suitable places to direct it. Preference will be given to family wishes, and to Canadian repositories, of course, but if any of you have any ideas of places that are truly interested in and would cherish radio-related and DX-related material, please let me know. The Folliotts will make all final decisions, of course, and if there's anything valuable in there they should benefit from the proceeds. So I cannot guarantee what will go where in the end. But I am open to any guidance and suggestions.
