Herb was the first real DX I ever heard on Topband. I was a student at Brunel University (G3UBR) back in the early 70s, and KV4FZ had an astounding signal into Eu, both on CW and SSB. 30 years later

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 o
So sad to hear. Herb was the first top band dx from a new qth in MD. The thing that made it special was that it was qrp using a random length long wire that was lucky to be 10 feet above ground level
Herb was my inspiration for getting on 160 in the first place. Herb spoke at a New England DXCC convention in the early 70s (before I graduated from high school in 1972) and played a recording of som

Thanks info. Dan, That is very sad news for me too. He and I had been 160m friends for nearly 50 years. I just QSO with him in the Stew Perry Contest in March and I can't believe he's gone. I'm reall
Checking my log I see I worked Herb about every other year on 160 during contest. Also once I see on 20 since starting to use my computer log in 2008. Will miss him for all he did for my little stati

Sad news. It is difficult to imagine now 160m band without this person, without this call sign. Sleep well our friend. Eternal flight to you on the air ... RIP Herb... 73! Eugene, RA0FF http://ww
Such sad news. Herb was always there in contests. Often struggling with static at his end he always stayed with it to try to pull stations through. I remember working him from the T32C DXpedition in
So sorry to hear about Herb. He was the landmark of Caribbea in all main Topband contests for decades. My first QSO with him was in October 1973. Received his card with marking 'First ever OH/KV4'. L
