NADXA's Silent Keys...
NADXA has had some very distinguished members who have
moved on to that QTH where everyplace is line-of-sight. We fondly remember these former
members whose keys turned silent in recent years.

W7TB, Lew
Wilhelm (a.k.a. ZK1TB, 3D2TB, FOØWLW, ZK1XU)
Lew's
experiences as an aviator in WWII led him to enjoy many return visits to exotic locales
such as Rarotonga, Fiji, and Russia later in life. He was a professional radio technician
who loved designing and building top-quality homebrew gear. In honor of Lew's
accomplishments and dedication to DXing, NADXA adopted his W7TB call sign for the
club station. Before joining the ranks of silent keys, Lew had worked well over 300 DXCC
entities. |

W7EYG, Bill
Webster
Bill spent
many hours chasing DX on SSB, earning quite an impressive total before he passed away just
before Field Day 2000. He was always ready to take the mike for hours through the night
when everyone else was sleeping, racking up points for the club. At last count, Bill had
worked 320 DXCC entities (with 316 confirmed).
