DL7APV, SK
Unfortunately, the sad news came from Germany: Bernd DL7APV lost his battle with illness and is no longer with us. But its EME signal and inspiration, which he brought to many radio amateurs, he will always be here with us.
Bernd received a radio amateur license in 1975. After a short period of operation since a year 1979 became his dominant band 432 MHz. Four years later he made his first EME connection on it. QRV was up to a year 1990 and after a break in the year 1997 he called from the new QTH. In year 2017 finished 128x11el. DG7YBN yagi. This enabled EME connections even for stations with minimal equipment such as MX0CNS with a dipole and 60W.
