Topband: Herbert Schoenbohm, KV4FZ: Silent Key

[Jon Zaimes]

Sad to learn Herb is gone. We will miss his friendship on the band, the
reflector and the low band chat.

Herb was one of the pioneers in Topband DXing. He and W8LRL were both issued
160m DXCC No. 3 on the same day (there was no No. 4) in 1977, around the
time I was just beginning to get serious about the band.

Oh, so sad!
During all my years om 160, my favorite band, Herb has been the man behind
thosea consistent and loud signals!

REST IN PEACE dear Herb

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
