Re: [IRCA] Richard Wood has died

["Martin and Wendy Foltz" <martinfoltz@xxxxxxx>]

This is really sad news. I've been a DXer for 35 years and Dr. Wood was
always a big name in the hobby, both in Shortwave and Mediumwave DXing. His
experience and expertise will be missed.

An I agree with Don, that someone needs to make arrangements to acquire his
QSLs and other DX related items so that they don't end up in the trash.
