[VHFcontesting] Re Bernie Bonnar, VE1UT, SK

[n6ze via VHFcontesting <vhfcontesting@contesting.com>]

I am so sorry to hear that Bernie, VE1UT, has become a Silent Key.

When I lived in Elizabeth City, NC, I perpetually looked for him on 2 meters.

We achieved Our first 2m QSO was on 09june1978 when I was still K1FJM.

May Bernie continue to provide NB section on VHF & up from his new location on 
high.
