Low-Band Authority ON4UN SK
John Devoldere, ON4UN, a leading authority on DX
and propagation in the low HF and MF portions of the spectrum, passed away on
November 9. His ARRL book, "ON4UN's Low-Band DXing," graces the
bookshelves of many serious 80- and 160-meter operators. In a Facebook post on
November 10, John's daughter Marleen wrote that "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." She added,
"I am grateful to the many of you who have given him so much joy over the
years." A "digital farewell ceremony" was planned for November
21. (Tnx W1PJE)
