[arrl-odv:32460] Ed Benkis, W2HTI SK

Friends, Any of you who are even semi-serious DXers would have known Ed. He was very often the last man standing at DX conventions. His wife Eileen (KO4DI) is also an accomplished DXer. They both were very good friends of ours and would drive up to NJDXA holiday luncheons and our annual picnic. They were very kind people and always invited us down to W4DXCC. Sadly, Ed became a silent key on Friday after a few days in hospice care. Please keep Eileen and the family in your thoughts and prayers. A very nice tribute is here: https://qrper.com/tag/ed-w2hti/ 73 Ria N2RJ
