Found this information on Dx news.

W0AIH, Paul Bittner from Fall Creek, USA passed away.

Information from N9ISN: I received very very sad news this evening. Paul W0AIH passed away late this afternoon (Wednesday). 

It was a tower accident involving his 40m tower he was working on in getting ready for SS.  Mary says he fell 60 feet.

No information on services as of yet.

Very sad news. W0AIH built an incredible station in the black hole. There are youtube videos of his larger Yagis. From P40A I worked his station on multiple bands in every DX contest. I sold Paul an antenna once and he was a very nice guy and will be sorely missed.

RIP
