SILENT KEYS -

ARRL Sweepstakes Manager Ken Adams, K5KA (SK) - Ken Adams, K5KA,
succumbed to cancer and passed away on Sunday, November 22. He was 64.
Adams -- an ARRL Life Member -- served as the first-ever Contest Manager
for the ARRL Sweepstakes, coming on board in 2005. "Ken was a 'get it
done' kinda guy," recalled ARRL Contest Branch Manager Sean Kutzko,
KX9X. "He took on the task of Sweepstakes Manager with great enthusiasm,
rolled up his sleeves and championed the event like nobody else I've
ever seen." Read more here
. [ARRL]

It is with profound sadness that the NJDXA reports that Ron Levy, K2CO,
has become a SK. Ron was the W2 incoming bureau manager for 18 years. He
has always been active in NJDXA activities and was also the Webmaster of
our website http://njdxa.org/ . His passing is a loss to the entire DX
community.

George Milton Welles Badger, W6TC became Silent Key on 15 November 2009.
