Today we have to tell you that our member and good friend Ralph also known as 13IR249 from the city Roth in Germany, suddenly passed away while he was in Asia together with 13IR102 Lars.
Just out before he was active on Asia tour activating several divisions for the 11 meter community.
Many of us know Ralph from the 1980s, when many people started with 11 meter DX.
Ralph was a fine operator and the polite man. The world will miss him.
Our condolences and thoughts are with his family and friends and also to Lars, 13IR102 who was together with him doing an Asia tour.
Rest in Peace Ralph !

Wherever you are, friend Ralph, you will always be in my heart.
After so many years sharing the hobby, one comes to feel affection for people one does not know personally, but through our passion for DX.
Thank you for your work and altruistic dedication to all of us.
RIP Ralph
Your friend Pepe 30AT252
