It is with immense regret and deep sorrow that we learn the sad news: last July 17th at the age of 102, our good friend and keen Antarctic chaser Jean Pierre Tendron F5XL passed away.
Jean Pierre turned 102 last April 14th!
We’re saddened by the news of his passing. Our hearts go out to his family and relatives with our sincere heartfelt condolences
Until 2015, at the venerable age of 92, F5XL never missed a single meeting in Mondovì (Italy), and then, he always kept us close in his thoughts when he couldn’t find anyone willing to make the 4-hour journey bringing him to attend the rendezvous with the yearly participants!
Jean Pierre F5XL own WAP-WACA no. 81 on February 12, 2007, with 119 confirmed Antarctic Stations and the Honor Roll WACA nr. 11 as well as WAP-WADA nr. 100 with 77 Antarctic Bases Basi and Honor Roll WADA nr. 14 on the same date
The community of the WW Antarctic chasers among the friend of ARI Mondovì (Italy) who use to set the Antarctic, IFF and DCI Meetings, are sure that the dynamism and enthusiasm that Jean Pierre, F5XL (pic on the right with Max IK1GPG) has passed on, will remain an unforgettable and beautiful memory as well as stimulus to continue our passion for the White Continent.

Dear Jean Pierre, now you can fly among the castles, amidst the green flora and the pristine white of the Antarctic expanses. Your memory will stay with us forever.
