Re: Topband: John ON4UN silent key

Like so many others who gravitated to the low bands, John's "Low-Band DXing" books became my low-band bible with each subsequent volume adding new insight. I owe much of my low-band success over the years to John and his comprehensive books. It was also a pleasure to work John in so many DX

A terrible loss of a fountain of knowledge.  Happy memories and excitement working John on Top Band from my apartment QTH in Monterey with an inverted L/9 radials and 600W.  He had great ears.  We owe him a debt of gratitude and appreciation, and will miss him greatly. 73, and God's blessings

Re: Topband: John ON4UN silent key

Sad. Another one gone. I have a couple of his books and found them quite useful. Like most of you, have worked John countless times on the low bands, and more recently either casually on 20m from my MINI (mobile) just tuning across him calling CQ randomly, or in a CWOps Wed CWT "1 hour

Re: Topband: John ON4UN silent key

There were few experts like John. His latest *Low Band Dxing* book is the most important amateur radio publication in my library. He left us with a lot to be grateful for, and which will also greatly benefit those starting out on 160m and higher. Don't forget! John also used to be active on the

Topband: WWDXC Top Band Anthology Question

Quick question: Was there more than 1 volume of the Western Washington DX Club's Top Band Anthology (1998) published? I don't see much mention of this anthology on the interwebs. Volume One was/is good reading. I was sorting my shack library, and got to wondering if there were any more.
