[Moon] EA3DXU - Josep, Silent Key

[Howard Ling]

A  very sad day, and  Josep's passing will be a very significant loss to the
EME community. 

Unlike many of you, whilst I was aware of Josep and his activities, I didn't
make any real contact with him until June of this year. We met on HB9DRI's
23cm QRP EME logger, and after a brief test Josep made his first 23cm EME
QSO with me on JT65. We had another QSO on 1st September, and he told me of
improvements that he was working on. so it came as a great shock to hear
that he was ill with cancer and that he had passed away just over a month
later!

I am very proud to have been able to help Josep and to have been his friend
even for a short time. what a great guy!

I'm sure his spirit will live on in all of us the knew him, and someday we
will meet him again.

73 Josep de Howard, G4CCH

Rest in Peace

My condolences to Pau and his family.
