Hello Gang I am truly saddened to have to pass along the contents of an email I just received from Carl Leahy who was one of Jack Leahy, VE1ZZ's sons. It is short and sweet - but I will add some pers
Very sad news. The passing of a legend. I remember hearing "zulu zulu" from A73A back in 2012. My only NA on 160 in the CQ WW SSB. Tree N6TR _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.

That is very sad news, but thank you for a such a personal insight into Jack's station and his life, Jeff. I'm sure the tributes to Jack will be almost endless, such was his status. His signal was aw
Terrible news. Like Ian, I could always rely on Jack being the first NA station to call me in a contest. The record being 3 minutes in on one CQWW160. RIP OM. 73 Chris, G3SVL (currently @ VK9XG- and
Sad news indeed. Our first QSO was in 92 when I was using an octagon copper tube short loop for 160 in northern Illinois. The next few were when I was using a 30' random wire in Indiana. 5W would get

Very sad, Jack was my first VE on TB when I got my first novice lis with call OL1BVR. I was totaly amazed that morning and I was not able to focuse for anything in school all that day... I runned 10W
Jeff, Thanks for passing this on. I have forwarded your (sad) note in its entirety to the MCC fellas. Your tour of his shack and visit were nearly identical to my own, sometime in the mid to late 199
very sad to hear this... Jack was my first DX on 80m in the 80th, using an antenna myself, which could not really work - only he made the contact possible! Later, I had many topband-contacts with him
Sad to see he will no longer be there to give out Nova Scotia. I see I've worked him three times 2014, 2011 and 2009 for a multiplier during CQWW160. Never really got to know him but I have enjoyed t
Jeff, Thanks for the great writeup about Jack. Although I didnt know him as well as you did I had the pleasure of meeting him several times and saw many pictures of the old setup. Logged him from Nav
Jack has always been one of my heroes on Topband. I usually gave Jack birthday greetings each Dec. 24, after he mentioned he was 79 on that date in 2011. My log shows I missed him in 2015 but gave hi
Jack was recently on my mind...I was dreading the news that surely would come one day, as I hadn't heard Jack for a while. Yesterday that news came, ending a fabulous era Jack shared with so many of
Greetings, Jack was my first VE station on Topband back in 1982. Subsequently, I worked him probably more than one-hundred times with a great signal. He never seemed rushed and always willing to stop
I am very sorry to read that Jack passed away, thats a very sad news. I will never forget, when I operated CQ160 SSB in 2013 it was 20:30 local time when he called in, I could not believe his S7 sign
A friend of mine ( who to this day knows absolutely nothing about radio, propagation or especially antennas ) and I worked together about 30 years ago and when he found out I was doing radio he immed
