It is with deep sadness that we announce to all our friends, radio amateurs, 'foxmen' and friends that a radio amateur, master of sports in fox hunting (ROB), official, long-time chairman of the Tišnov radio club, but above all a friend, has left us forever Karel Souček, OK2VH.
Karel was not only at the birth of the Tišnov radio club OK2KEA in 1955, but also with everything important that has happened since then.
From 1960 he was the responsible operator of the club station. The radio club participated in many, in particular VHF races in which Karel was always a dedicated and tireless competitor. This is also proven by several very nice locations in VHF Field days.
However, Karl was primarily attracted by sport. Especially fox hunting (now known as ROB whether ARDF) ho úplne očaril. Sám si postavil prijímače pre súťažné pásma a spolu s ďalšími kamarátmi (aspoň spomeňme Emil Kubes a Štěpán Konupčík) obhajoval československé farby na medzinárodných súťažiach. Neskôr – po ukončení športovej kariéry – sa venoval najmä práci s mladými pretekármi a reprezentačnému tímu, kde pôsobil ako coach. Pod jeho vedením dosiahlo reprezentačné družstvo ROB mnohé významné úspechy, medzi nimi aj titles of world and European champions.
In the year 1990 was a member of the organizing committee ARDF World Championships, ktoré sa konali na Strbské Pleso in the Tatras.
In the year 2004 together with Zdenek OK2BEH ensured the operation of the station OK5FOX on the occasion of the ARDF World Championships in Brno.
Karel was not just an athlete or an official. He was an excellent organizer and the soul of the radio club. Vďaka nemu a ďalším členom vzniklo vysielacie stredisko rádioklubu on Veselí (locator JN89EJ), from where the club station still competes in VHF races.
In the year 2005 celebrated Radio Club OK2KEA 50 years of its existence – and it goes without saying that we owe it to Karl for the enormous effort he put in collecting documentation, archival materials, photographs and processing comprehensive history of the radio club from its beginnings to the present.
In recent years, his strength has weakened somewhat, mainly due to health problems, but his inner vitality still allowed him to devote himself to radio amateur operation, especially on short waves. Zúčastňoval sa VRK races, SSB league, a keď mu to zdravie dovolilo, pomáhal aj v závodoch klubovej stanice.
His next plan was DIGI fashion, žiaľ, túto etapu sa mu už nepodarilo uskutočniť. a long and insidious disease she beat him on Saturday November 22, 2008.
Who knew him please give him a silent memorial.
For the Radio Club team OK2KEA Tišnov
Petr, OK2BSY
