I today heard on 20 metres that well known DX er Joel, K2QBV, has sadly passed. I am told he suffered a cardiac arrest, and also contracted Covid. I can't see any reference to the on the Zed, so I do hope this information is not scurrilous. It came from a reliable source, so I assume it is correct. I enjoyed many QSO's with Joel....he was a fine operator. God Bless him, and my heartfelt sympathy to his XYL and family....How Sad.....73 old chum. Des...G4OBB

Thanks Des. J Thanks very much for the kind words Des. Joel was extremely diligent and respectful when it came to protecting himself and others from Covid. Unfortunately, the virus spreads like wildfire if you happen to be in a hospital.
