+ SILENT KEYS + Elder Apollo, SV2ASP passed away on 5 May. He was 64 years
old, and had been fighting brain cancer for three years. A monk since 1973,
he moved to the Docheiariou Monastery at Mount Athos in 1980. Nick
Georgiades (SV2RE) and George Tsalios (SV2UA) introduced him to amateur
Radio essentially as means of emergency communication. He obtained his
licence in 1988, and two years later the Holy Council permitted him to
operate. "In spite of all the difficulties and of not being fond of DXing
(which does not really fit my monastic way of life)", he wrote, "I have been
sacrificing my very little spare time to make the voice of the Holy Mountain
heard on the air and to give joy to a multitude of friends impatiently
waiting for a contact. I have been doing so since 1990, trying to spread,
through my presence on the radio waves, a message of hope and optimism -
from the ascetic world of Mount Athos to the troubled world outside". In
2000 he celebrated his 10th anniversary on the air with the special callsign
SY2A.
Kathryn "Kat" Cheval, E51KC (KB7SCH) passed away on 1 May in Victoria, BC,
Canada at only 55 years of age. She had been married to Andrew "Andy"
Duncan, E51AND (AB7FS) since 1992, and the couple lived on Rarotonga, South
Cook Islands for the past six years.
