+ SILENT KEYS + Elder Apollo, SV2ASP passed away on 5 May.  He  was 64 years
old, and had been fighting brain cancer for three years.  A monk since 1973,
he  moved  to  the  Docheiariou Monastery  at  Mount  Athos  in  1980.  Nick
Georgiades (SV2RE)  and  George Tsalios (SV2UA)  introduced him  to  amateur
Radio  essentially  as  means of  emergency communication.  He obtained  his
licence in 1988, and  two  years later  the  Holy Council  permitted  him to
operate. "In spite of all the difficulties and  of  not being fond of  DXing
(which does not really fit my monastic way of life)", he wrote, "I have been
sacrificing my very little spare time to make the voice of the Holy Mountain
heard on the air and to  give  joy to  a  multitude  of friends  impatiently
waiting for a contact.  I have been doing  so since 1990,  trying to spread,
through my presence  on the radio waves,  a message  of hope  and optimism -
from the ascetic world  of Mount Athos  to the  troubled world outside".  In
2000 he celebrated his 10th anniversary on the air with the special callsign
SY2A.
Kathryn "Kat" Cheval, E51KC (KB7SCH) passed away on 1 May  in  Victoria, BC,
Canada at  only  55 years  of age.  She had been  married  to  Andrew "Andy"
Duncan, E51AND (AB7FS) since 1992, and the couple lived on Rarotonga,  South
Cook Islands for the past six years.
