44 DEDICATIG . . . is the word for Electronics Technician Chief Lynn Lilla. He does more for the morale of the SYLVANIA than any other single crew member. Night after night, his weary voice drones in the jargon of Ham radio, This is WAQDJQ, mobile region one, conducting overseas phone patch traffic with WB4KCI in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and a clear frequency would be greatly appreciated. Chief Lilla's phone patches fill the gap created by the weeks that can pass waiting for letters to cross in the mail. On one occasion, a man was able to talk to his wife five hours after she had her first baby, when he was over 5,000 miles away. u Q In the last two cruises, Chief Lilla has completed 2,319 calls, for 520 different customers. Over 1900 of those were made with Willie Roelant, a Virginia Beach I-Iam operator. This book is dedicated to those two men who have contributed so much time and effort for us all on SYLVANIA. x W!-XSD
