Topband: VK6HD SK RIP

Hi Steve and gang


Just a few words about Mike that may not be known.


In Mid February I was at PJ4X - Bonaire - and managed to work Mike at my SR on 18 February 2013.


About a week later after returning home, Mike's card arrived and on the back he wrote a short note"thank you Jeff for another new one"".  I had managed to give Mike his ZONE 11 first qso in OCT 1999 via longpath and maybe one or two more that I do not recall now. 


No word was said about his illness (that was Mike's way for sure).....


And it is likely that I was his last new one on Topband - but who knows.


I visited Mike in 1987 in the suburbs of Perth before his move down South  near Albany Australia.


He and his wife Pam were wonderful hosts to us that year and I will surely miss him as will everyone.

Rest well Mike.


He was a great guy.


73 JEFF
