There have been several suggestions for on-the-air actions to remember the four 
ops lost on their way to C6APR yesterday. Perhaps a moment of radio silence - 
at the beginning of the contest or perhaps around the time of their flight.  Or 
look back in your log to find the time of your most recent contact with them 
and take that moment out then.  Maybe call C6APR at some appropriate time and 
wait for their signal.  Putting a C6APR QSO in your log with a zone of 00 is 
another idea - I know that K7RA used show up in logs from the Pac NW for years 
after Homer's untimely demise.  Whatever seems appropriate to you, take some 
time out during the contest to not only remember the team, but to appreciate 
the other competitors.  Let's try to treat each other with a little extra 
respect this coming weekend as we've all just been reminded of how quickly a 
log can close.
