Hi Steve and gang
Just a few words about Mike that may not be known. In Mid February I was at PJ4X - Bonaire - and managed to work Mike at my SR on 18 February 2013. About a week later after returning home, Mike's card arrived and on the back he wrote a short note"thank you Jeff for another new one"". I had managed to give Mike his ZONE 11 first qso in OCT 1999 via longpath and maybe one or two more that I do not recall now. No word was said about his illness (that was Mike's way for sure)..... And it is likely that I was his last new one on Topband - but who knows. I visited Mike in 1987 in the suburbs of Perth before his move down South near Albany Australia. He and his wife Pam were wonderful hosts to us that year and I will surely miss him as will everyone. Rest well Mike. He was a great guy. 73 JEFF K1ZM - All good topband ops know fine whiskey is a daylight beverage. _________________ Topband Reflector
