Dear amateur radio friends It is with sadness, but also gratitude and 
pride, I have to let you know my father John ON4UN, has become silent key.
John’s health has steadily deteriorated throughout the year, but in the 
last few weeks he was home with us where he peacefully passed away 
yesterday November 9.
Ham Radio, and especially Low Band DX-ing, were my father’s lifelong 
passion and always had a strong presence in our house. Sometimes 
literally, when many of you paid us a visit or a group of DX’ers came 
over for a weekend of contesting. At other times in the background, when 
my dad was working on a project or experimenting with new equipment or 
antennas.
Though I don’t have a call-sign, I very much feel part of the big radio 
family and always will. I am very proud of everything my father has 
accomplished together with you, and I am grateful to the many of you who 
have given him so much joy over the years. We will miss him dearly, but 
we take comfort looking back on the beautiful life he lived as a member 
of the wonderful Ham Radio community.
We are planning a digital farewell ceremony on Saturday Nov 21st and 
will keep you updated on practicalities. If you would like to send us a 
message please mail to ON4UN.SK at gmail.com – John’s old e-mail account is 
not in use anymore. In the meantime, you can pay him a visit at QRZ.com 
<http://QRZ.com>where he always kept his resume up to date.
