the author of 'World Licensing and Operating Directory',  a  new  book  that
should be of interest to those who are planning to operate from  abroad.  It
has an A-Z listing of countries and provides details  of  how  to  obtain  a
guest licence in as many of those countries  as  possible  (over  200).  The
final section of the  book  provides  details  of  as  many  of  the  rental
stations around the world that Steve could find out about  through  research
on the web and through personal contacts. Further information can  be  found

+ SILENT KEY + "Paolo Cortese, I2UIY, has too many Top 10 finishes to  list.
Off the air, he served for more than a decade as the HF Contest Manager  for
Associazione  Radioamatori  Italiani,  Italy's    national    Amateur  Radio
association and IARU Member-Society. Cortese wrote a book on contesting  and
has been a member of the CQWW Contest Committee since 1990,  co-director  of
the CQ WW RTTY DX Contest and CQ WPX RTTY Contest since 2005". This was  the
reason for Paolo's induction into the CQ Contest Hall of Fame in  May  2008.
Above all, Paolo was one of our best friends, and we are devastated  by  the
news - unfortunately not unexpected - of his untimely passing on 12  October
after a short illness, at only 48 years of age. We will miss  his  brilliant
mind  and  witty  sense  of  humour,  his  wide  knowledge    and  versatile
intelligence. Rest in peace, Paolo, and thank you for your friendship.
