It is with great sadness that I must report the passing of Larry Lindblom W0ETC. Larry was one of the TCG's first out-of-state members, and he participated on TCG NAQP teams year after year. Larry was also a frequent operator at Iowa's biggest superstation, N0NI, when not doing single op from his own station. W0ETC was a big fan of radio teletype, and he always made sure there were PLENTY of TCG teams on the air for the NAQP RTTY contests. In 2001 he took first place in the very first TCG RadioActive Report in the number of contests worked -- this guy loved to operate. Larry W0ETC was a contest operator who played by the rules every time. His wisdom beyond contesting will leave a lasting impact on me forever. RIP OM
