Hello Topbanders,
I was also very sad to learn of Peter's death. I first met
Peter in person during an impromptu gathering of Topbanders near Frankfurt
while there on a business trip in 1993. I also stayed at his home and
roomed with him during the 1997 Friedrichshafen radio convention. Peter
was always very helpful and I really admired his quiet modesty, even though
he was one of the most accomplished Topbanders anywhere. I never knew W1BB
but I guess they shared similar traits as well as a love for Topband.
As a small way of remembering Peter, I am sponsoring the ARRL DX
CW Plaque for 160 single operator US entrants. It will be called the
DJ8WL Memorial. I hope each of us will remember what a fine gentleman
he was.
73, Bill W4ZV
