''PACIFIC POWERHOUSE'' KATASHI NOSE, KH6IJ, SK

On April 7, 79-year-old Katashi Nose, KH6IJ, of Honolulu, Hawaii-
-one of Amateur Radio's best-liked operators--died from a severe
stroke.

Nose, a famous contest op and DXer with a string of ham radio firsts
and accomplishments, was also famous for patiently working and
tutoring Novices on 15 and 10 meters.

KH6IJ, licensed in 1932 as K6CGK, was the first KH6 ham to qualify
for the League's DX Century Club and Worked All States Awards. In
1952, he received his Amateur Extra Class ticket, the fifth US ham
to do so.

For 56 years, Katashi wrote a newspaper column on ham radio for his
local newspaper. He also wrote many articles for QST and other ham
magazines.

Nose earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Hawaii in
1937, and a masters degree from Harvard in 1960. He is survived by
his wife Matsuyo, daughters Elizabeth Nose and Frances McKenney, son
Joseph, and a son-in-law, Michael McKenney.

Funeral services are scheduled for Wednesday, April 13.
