Subject: QCWA #17088, Dr. Keitaro Sekine, JA1BLV, was SK on 2012

QCWA managers:

I happened to find Dr. Keitaro Sekine, JA1BLV #17088 was in the QCWA database.
Dr. Sekine passed away on 15-OCT-2012, at age 76.

He was a professor emeritus of Tokyo University of Science (TUS).
TUS published the announcement of SK in their publication at
http://www.sut.ac.jp/info/publish/gakuhou/pdf/no188.pdf

Dr. Sekine had been a great mentor for Japanese hams.
During 1970s he published an article about UART chip for RTTY,
which was my first exposure to the serial communication technology.

I suggest you to remove him from your roster.

Hi Bob:

I would appreciate if you kindly correct his address in Japan:
it's not Shinjuki. The right word is "Shinjuku".
Shinjuku is one of the 23 districts in central/downtown Tokyo.

Dr. Sekine also introduced Coherent CW in Japan on the late 1970s
(1978 or 1979). I remember his last publication was from
CQ Publishing, Co. Ltd. in 2011 or so,
about the basic engineering on radio communication.
