Four Radio Amateurs Killed in Plane Crash While En Route to CQWW Phone Contest (Oct 21, 2009 [REVISED Oct 22, 2009 11:05 ET]) — Just after take-off — around 6:30 AM on Wednesday, October 21 — a twin-engine plane carrying four Amateur Radio operators crashed into the woods, only 250 yards off the end of the runway in Jedburg, South Carolina, about 20 miles northwest of Charleston. The plane — piloted and owned by Peter Radding, W2GJ — carried Ed Steeble, K3IXD, Dallas Carter, W3PP, and Randy Hargenrader, K4QO. The four men were on their way to the Bahamas to operate in this weekend’s CQ World Wide Phone Contest as C6APR, competing in the Multi/2 category.
