Wow, even though I haven't been very active on 160, I'm pretty sure Herb
was one of my very first DX contacts in 1964 on whatever band, probably 15.
Seems like he was still posting on the reflectors just a few days ago.
Very Sad,

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
