Topband: Herbert Schoenbohm, KV4FZ: Silent Key

[dan at np2j.com]

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
