Re:Alexei VE2XAA is SK - 2011/08/23 18:10
A few weeks ago, Alex asked me very enthusiastic if he could take part to our VP6T expedition, we answered him that currently we were limited to five but we were keeping in mind his proposal.
He was expecting this answer but was a little disappointed. Today we are considering extending the team and Jacques was looking for its e-mail address on qrz.com. It’s like that that Jacques leaned and informed me of the very sad news and I am quite shocked by its suddenness.
If I knew, I would have been very pleased to tell him ‘’yes’’ and let Alex go away with this ‘’yes’’ in mind.
Only the previous weekend we were exchanging a few words in CW during the WAE.
Alex,
I will not any more have this little smile on my face each time I go to Laval via Gouin and see your beam just next to the high voltage Hydro cables and the heavy traffic boulevard thinking to the impressive results you were able to pull from it because you are an excellent operator.
I will not anymore hear your CW recognizable ‘’XAA’’ calling me and know that I have just been spotted because you were ready to help everybody.
I will not anymore be surprised discovering the new remote location you are transmitting from because you were taking advantage of every good moments of life.
But I will always remember you, very quiet, during this particular field day, under this terrible thunderstorm, still transmitting, alone inside the little tent with very close lightnings all around, in the middle of the night at the Arboretum Park. That year, thanks to your kind participation we got the #1 1A Canadian place.
We will miss you, hopping that now you have access to the secrets of the waves.
Goodbye my friend
VE2XAA de VE2TZT ... -.-
