Tribute to H. Wayne Carroll W5QDF, W4MPY
April 15, 1932 - July 3, 2019

“The QSL Man” Wayne Carroll, W4MPY, was from Aiken, South Carolina. An ARRL member, he was 87. For many years, starting in the 1970s, “Wimpy" as he was known, and his late wife Lola, N4KAI, started what he called “a part-time business” printing QSL cards from his home, which he continued into retirement. First licensed in 1949 as W5QDF in his native Texas, he became W4MPY after relocating. Wayne was a serious CW DXer. Wayne studied electrical engineering at Texas Tech.
