This is received from Phil, 9Q1TB (F5LTB)

Its with a very great sadness I’ve to inform the Ham community of Osten, SM5DQC’s passing, on September the 6th.

The evening before, we were phoning us about his intention to check his antennas before winter as he did every year.
For Georges (9Q1EK) and I, he was our so efficient QSL manager. We are awaiting some more information.

For our hams friends who need them, we are not able to answer the paper QSL received, until we’ll be recovering our logs and cards to transmit them to a new manager.

Avec mes 73’s attristées
