Just seen this . . . and so sad to hear the news.
As others have said, Herb was one of the real stalwarts of Top Band DX . . and consistently one of the big signals here in Europe. I think I first worked him back in 1970, a few months after I was licensed. I just looked back in my (paper) Log Book, and my last QSO with him was in October. Herb you will be sadly missed on 160m . . . . Rest In Peace. 73 Roger G3YRO _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
