Sad news,
Vladas, LY1BX was very loyal EUHFC contester since 1997, he didn't missed a
single EUHFC for last 17 years including 2013. As already mentioned by
Gedas, Vladas was the oldest licensed EUHF contester for many years and
valuable mult with his first official ham license 75 years ago - back in
1938.
Vladas, thank you for all your contribution to hamradio world which you loved
him very much.
