+ VICTOR RUSINOV, UT8LL +
The IOTA community world wide mourns the sudden passing of Victor Rusinov,
UT8LL (UB5LGM), who died in the plane crash on 23 December near Esfahan,
while on a business trip to Iran. Over the years Victor was a keen supporter
of the IOTA programme. He helped his Ukrainian team-mates put on operations
from EU-119 (4K3MI), AS-005 (4K4D), AS-086 (4K4I), AS-039 (EZ0Z), AS-104
(4K4N), the Black Sea island groups EU-179, 180 and 182 (EM5UIA), as well as,
just a few weeks ago, AS-166 (EP6KI). Victor was a man with a big heart, a
huge sense of humour, and great charm. With this went real generosity - for
the IOTA Programme we shall always be grateful for the financial contribution
he made to fund an ongoing programme of annual trophies. [TNX G3KMA]
