Sad to learn Herb is gone. We will miss his friendship on the band, the reflector and the low band chat.
Herb was one of the pioneers in Topband DXing. He and W8LRL were both issued 160m DXCC No. 3 on the same day (there was no No. 4) in 1977, around the time I was just beginning to get serious about the band. http://lists.contesting.com/_topband/2004-12/msg00271.html RIP Herb. 73/Jon Jon P.

During all my years om 160, my favorite band, Herb has been the man behind thosea consistent and loud signals! REST IN PEACE dear Herb Len Michaelsson SM7BIC -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Topband <topband-bounces+lennart.michaelsson=telia.com@contestingcom> För [email protected] Skickat: den 29 april 2020 20:21 Till: [email protected] Ämne: Topband: Herbert Schoenbohm, KV4FZ: Silent Key It is with great regret that I have been informed that Herb Schoenbohm KV4FZ has passed away this morning at his home. Herb was 84 years of age. Herb has been a fixture on Topband since the very beginning, having 160 DXCC #2 (I believe) and has been active in all 160 Meter contests over the years setting many records. I personally have been amazed at his stamina in contests, even recently, he would stay up all night CQing long after this 62 year old called it quits...I hope I live as long as Herbie, and be able to put half the rare ones in the log as he did routinely 73 Herb Best wishes to Herbs wife of over 50 years Monica and Sons Tom, Timmy and Eric _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
