Very sad news indeed. Ananth is in my log books several times and was part of a few dxpeditions I have worked as well. One of the write-ups on him I read yesterday mentioned his love of stamp collecting. When I emailed him several years ago about how to get a paper QSL card, he said instead of sending payment.. send him some interesting stamps (I save the more interesting ones from QSL cards I receive). I included a bunch in the envelope along with my QSL and sure enough he sent a card back and mentioned he loved the stamps! 47 is far too young, RIP
