Title: Don Baldwin aka Rockpicker has passed away
Post by: redhat on February 08, 2018, 0106 UTC

I got an email back from his wife Margie this afternoon after sending out QSL's and she told me he passed last November.  I offer my sincerest condolences and suggest we all raise a glass to a fellow friend and DX'er.

He was one of us, and Margie told me to tell everyone here he loved us all.

That's a shame. I was wondering why he'd dropped out of sight? That's definitely not the answer you want to hear. RIP, Rockpicker.

Rockpicker was a good guy, and a great DXer.

You will be missed, bud!

Another shortwave/pirate radio enthusiast lost.  Rest in peace, Rockpicker.
My sincere condolences to family and friends.
