    The C6APR team, consisting of Pete, W2GJ, Ed, K3IXD, Randy K4QO and Dallas W3PP were all killed this morning as their aircraft crashed on take-off from Summerville Airport, SC on their way to Crooked Island, Bahamas. They were on their way to operate in the CQWW contest this weekend.

    Our thoughts are with their families in this tragic time!

    More as it made available!

    I did not know them personally, but I'd like to express my condolences.

    W3PP is from my state. I didn't know him personally. I believe he was/is one of the few contest stations in Delaware.

    Sad.
