Met him for the first time when I was still a SWL (NL-267) in 1968. Finally was able to make our first QSO after I obtained my license in 1970. After my departure to 5N2 lost track of him due to compulsory inactivity as well as change of callsign (ex DL9CUG, DM5MG, DM4WTG and Y23UG).
Member of HSC, VHSC und RTC – one of the most active members of the HSC in Germany.
He died on the very day I decided to visit him by surprise, but he 'surprised' me.
