The Shortwave Community Mourns the Loss of Hank Bennett

摘要

I (and the shortwave hobby) have just learned of the passing last October of Hank Bennett, a longtime SWBC editor of the Newark News Radio Club, later for Popular Electronics magazine and the short-lived Association of DX Reporters (ARDX). I remember Hank and "tape-sponded" with him and his wife Mea for awhile. I well remember, too, the pink-paged NNRC Shortwave section which I had a habit of three-hole punching the pages and putting them into reference binders. Bennett's column provided an excellent introduction to the hobby for this relative newbie. Hank was also a licensed amateur, W2PNA, but made his radio mark in the world of shortwave listening. R.I.P. Hank.
