So sad to hear.
Herb was the first top band dx from a new qth in MD. The thing that made
it special was that it was qrp using a random length long wire that was
lucky to be 10 feet above ground level during a Stew Perry several years
back.
The qso was all his skills in being able to hear my puny weak signal.

excuse my brevity and typos as my mobile device auto corrects like carp.
