My first contact with ON4UN was in 2006 when I finally moved and got enough space to put up a 160 antenna. I have worked him many times since. His Low Band DXing Books I use as reading material when waiting in a doctors office or anyplace where I have to wait for something. Those are the

I am very sad to hear that John ON4UN passed away. As a person who also loves the Low band and Contests like him, I would like to write a memory of him. I participated in the DX Pediction in 1985 as a Low band CW operator of Kingman Reef K9AJ/KH5K and Palmyra Island W0RLX/KH5. In very difficult

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

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

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
