Herb was the first real DX I ever heard on Topband. I was a student at
Brunel University (G3UBR) back in the early 70s, and KV4FZ had an
astounding signal into Eu, both on CW and SSB. 30 years later he gave me
my first TB Q with KV4 from ZL. I also remember working him an hour
before my sunset a couple of years back.

Ämne: Topband: Herbert Schoenbohm, KV4FZ: Silent Key
It is with great regret that I have been informed that Herb Schoenbohm KV4FZ
has passed away this morning at his home.
Herb was 84 years of age.
Herb has been a fixture on Topband since the very beginning, having 160 DXCC
#2 (I believe) and has been active in all 160 Meter contests over the years
setting many records.
I personally have been amazed at his stamina in contests, even recently, he
would stay up all night CQing long after this 62 year old called it
quits...I hope I live as long as Herbie, and be able to put half the rare
ones in the log as he did routinely
73 Herb
Best wishes to Herbs wife of over 50 years Monica and Sons Tom, Timmy and
